The Cobble Hill Tunnel (popularly the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel) of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) is an abandoned railroad tunnel beneath Atlantic Avenue in downtown Brooklyn, New York City. When open, it ran for about 2,517 feet (767m) between Columbia Street and Boerum Place. It is the oldest railway tunnel beneath a city street in North America that was fully devoted to rail.
Construction and operation
Construction began in May 1844. The tunnel opened for use on December 3, 1844, but was not completely finished until late Spring 1845. It was built mainly to satisfy public demand for creation of a grade-separatedright of way for the Brooklyn and Jamaica Railroad (later Long Island Rail Road) on its way to the South Ferry at the foot of Atlantic Street (later Atlantic Avenue), where passengers could catch ferries to Manhattan. The construction of the tunnel also lowered the LIRR's grade through Cobble Hill.
In exchange for building the tunnel, the City of Brooklyn granted the B&J permission to operate its steam locomotives on Atlantic Street west of Fifth Avenue (then Parmentier's Garden/Gowanus Lane), all the way to Brooklyn's South Ferry (the present location of Brooklyn's Pier 7). Prior to the tunnel being built, the LIRR's western terminus was Atlantic Street at Clinton Street. Train cars were hauled by teams of horses along Atlantic Street from Clinton Street to Parmentier's Garden, where steam locomotives were attached. While the tunnel was being built, the railroad operated to a temporary terminal at Pacific Street and Henry Street.
As of 2015, it is the busiest subway station in Brooklyn, with 13,617,153 passengers, and is ranked 21st overall. The control house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980, while the station complex as a whole has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004, and is ADA-compliant.
History
The station was overhauled in the late 1970s. MTA fixed the station's structure and overhauled its appearance. It refurbished the wall tilings and replaced the old signs and incandescent lighting with modern fixtures. It also fixed the staircases and platform edges. The Pacific Street section underwent another major overhaul from 1999 to 2000. This time the station received state of the art repairs and was updated for ADA-accessibility. The MTA repaired the staircases, re-tiled the walls and floors, upgraded the station's lights and the public address system, installed ADA yellow safety threads along the platform edge, and installed new trackbeds for local and express trains entering the station. In late 2004, the MTA installed elevators on both sides of the platform and street level to accommodate wheelchairs and those with disabilities.
Atlantic Boulevard starts off as a southerly continuation of Los Robles Avenue at Huntington Drive in northern Alhambra, and ends on East Ocean Boulevard in Downtown Long Beach.Through most of its route from Maywood south, Atlantic travels parallel to the Long Beach Freeway and the Los Angeles River. South of Randolph Street, Atlantic Boulevard becomes Atlantic Avenue, roughly at the city border of Maywood and Bell.

WET WET WET lyrics - 'Atlantic Avenue' Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue With the sunlight in my eyes Here I am and there's nothing I would rather do When I want some peace of mind Oh, I leave the smoke of Rio behind, as evening starts to fly I wanna feel the ocean breeze where the mountains touch the sky So come on down Atlantic Avenue Let the samba take a hold of you; 'cos I know there is no place like the Avenue When the music gets a hold of you Drive along to Ipanema, but there's always time to spare Forget the troubles of the world when they get too much to bear Oh oh, wooh Flying down to Rio never thought I would be walking by the ocean here today, no Pretty soon I got to leave, but I know my heart will stay
