Brooklyn & Queens Transit
This is West 5th St Depot with the Bighton line in the backround.  This is the first color picture I've ever seen of the lower level Brighton tracks into W 8th Street still (apparently) intact!  The track that goes off to the left is probably access to McDonald Ave and the Coney Island Yard.  This spot is where Brightwater towers now stands and is not too far from the sight of the already demolished Culver Depot.
