Culver Depot, also called Culver Terminal[1] or Culver Plaza,[2] was a railroad and streetcar terminal in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City, United States, located on the northern side of Surf Avenue near West 5th Street.[3][4] It was just north of the boardwalk, near the former Luna Park amusement complex, and across from the current New York Aquarium.[5][6] Originally built by the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad for the Culver surface line, it later became a major terminal for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT).[1][7]
