36th–38th Street Yard

36th–38th Street Yard

The 36th–38th Street Yard is a rail yard of the New York City Subway.

Unlike most other yards in the New York City Subway system the 36th–38th Street Yard is not normally used for either storage layups or revenue-service train maintenance. Its primary function is for the storage of diesel and electrically powered maintenance-of-way and other non-revenue service rolling stock. 36th Street Yard was once the center of the South Brooklyn Railway, which extended from Bush Terminal, through the 39th Street Yard, then down Gravesand Avenue and into Coney Island Yard. One of the primary functions of this yard today is transferring trash from garbage collector trains to trucks via platforms inside the yard just south of 37th Street.
