In the 'ole days when it was in operation, did the Branch run at street level in that area or up onto an El?That siding may have served the Armory at Bedford and Atlantic. Back in the day it was a regiment sized armory and would've merited a spur. I've wondered about the connection too, but if that portal was it, it would've had to travel beneath the armory and then go a couple of blocks to get to the other line, or wouldn't the connection have been farther east on the Atlantic Branch? Also, did the connection exist after the grade crossing elimination project?
