Fifth Street station (LIRR)
Fifth Street was a train station along the Evergreen Branch of the Long Island Rail Road that opened in 1878 at Fifth Street, which later became Driggs Street, then finally Driggs Avenue.[1] Fifth Street was 3 minutes away from Greenpoint Terminal.[2] The station closed in 1879.[3][4] This is also evident as Fifth Street isn't mentioned on the 1880 season timetable.[5]
