The Cobble Hill Tunnel (also known as the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel) is an abandoned Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) tunnel beneath Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, New York City, running through the neighborhoods of Downtown Brooklyn and Cobble Hill. When open, it ran for about 2,517 feet (767 m) between Columbia Street and Boerum Place.[2] It is the oldest railway tunnel beneath a city street in North America that was fully devoted to rail.[3][4][a] It is also deemed the oldest subway tunnel in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records.[7]
