Forgotten NY explains:
On Atlantic Avenue just east of 5th Avenue... you'll find the stubs of what used to be elevated train stanchions. These are the last remnants of an elevated connection from the LIRR to a freight terminal located across Atlantic Avenue on Fort Greene Place used by Armour Meats and Rabinowitz Glassworks. Various segments continued to be seen here and there on Atlantic Avenue as late as the 1980s, but these are presently (2005) the only remnants. They will likely be ripped up when the new development gets underway.
