A Middle Village bound "M" train makes its usual station stop at Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenues on the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line passing above some remains of the abandoned Long Island Rail Road Evergreen Branch as seen from Palmetto Street in Brooklyn, NY

The Evergreen Branch was a branch of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) that ran between Greenpoint, Brooklyn and Ridgewood, Queens in New York City. It was originally constructed as a narrow gauge passenger line in 1878 by the Glendale & East River Railroad (G&ER), but later converted to standard gauge in 1883 shortly after its consolidated with the LIRR. This was to allow for freight connections with the Bushwick and Bay Ridge Branches. The branch thrived all the way through a majority of the 20th century, then saw a major decline in the 1970s. Conrail, the line's last owner, filed to abandon the line on September 15, 1983 and the line was finally taken out of service on 1985. Though just about all of the right-of-way was sold off, some portions of track can be seen to this day.
