Bushwick, also known as Bushwick Terminal, was a train station along the Bushwick Branch, and terminal of the Bushwick Branch of the Long Island Rail Road from February 29, 1876,[1] to May 13, 1924.[2] Bushwick Terminal was located at Montrose Avenue and Bushwick Avenue in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It opened on July 18, 1868,[3] and closed in 1924 with the end of passenger service on the Bushwick Branch. Steam engines served the station until 1913.[4] The station building made in brick survived until recently and was the last vestige of the passenger terminal of the Bushwick Branch. Before it was demolished, the building was used as an automobile repair shop.[5][6] The terminal building was replaced by a building that was in the process of being built in October 2007,[7] and holds trucks.[8][9]
