Brooklyn Manor was formerly an elevated wooden station on the Long Island Railroad in New York City. This was unusual, as most other stations were made of concrete. The station was named after a nearby movie theater. It was located at Jamaica Street. The station was demolished and the tracks removed. Today it is a hiking trail. Signal towers can still be seen on the path to Brooklyn Manor. Much of the roadbed is overgrown with trees and weeds. Barely anything remains at the site of the station today.
