   During one trip in the late 70s I rode the IND "A" train to Bway-Jct   
   ENY and went up the long escalator to the BMT Canarsie line.  I was   
   flabbergasted to see how many transit cops were congregated there.  I   
   was sure that there was "a problem".  I later realized that the ENY   
   Yard was the local Transit Police borough HQ and it was shift change   
   time!

   IIRC it was the old Fulton Street El that was torn down and the   
   Canarsie line rerouted on that level.  I haven't bought a Subway Track   
   Diagram Manual in years.
