Alright, the next bit of work is actually not focused on the Station at all, but a Junction all the same.
Breakridge is a one of a kind, Triple Decker Elevated Station in the Playland Region.
It has historically been served by the Playland Railroad (Upper Level), Playland Local Subway Line ( Middle Level), and the Ocean Drive Shuttle (Lower Level).
As depicted earlier this year, the Ocean Drive Shuttle is no more after the ( M ) Line Redesign. There was an early image of how the line looked before the region was built up.

Today we will revisit this section with more detail!
Let's go back in time nearly 100 years ago, when the reconstructed viaduct for the Playland Railroad from Marget St Tunnel to Mai Playland had just finished work. It was a marvel to have one of the tallest elevated structure right in Playland County's backyard. Bustling Commuter Trains filled to the brim with passengers would come from both directions as the Ferry at the end of the Line was a popular route for people from Seaside County to arrive (as-is the case today).
As the Station became more and more busy the platforms needed to be extended, unfortunately this prove to be too big of challenge as it would weaken the integrity of the station. The work has proven to be too risky, therefore the station has been fortified and re-strengthened as opposed to extended. Commuter Railroad Trains only have the first 2 Cars open their doors.
------
The Ocean Drive Shuttle was a Single Track Elevated Spur originally off of the Playland Local Line. Some Playland Trains would branch off and terminate at Ocean Drive. This service pattern was only during the initial year of the line's opening as the lower level of Breakridge was plagued with Electrical issues. Afterwards, fulltime Shuttle service with Married Pair Trains began to run from Ocean Drive to Breakridge making all stops in both direction. Passing Loop tracks used to exist between 3 of the 5 stations on the line. It was an inefficient track setup, however since the terminals had two tracks it worked for decades without many complaints from the residents in the area.
In the late 2010s, the Elevated Structure was worse for wear due to the cheaper materials used during initial construction compared to the main line. The life expectancy had been reached 20 years prior, and it had been operating off of hopes and wishes. Before a fatal accident could occur, the ( M ) Line Redesign Project was prioritized and bundled with several other work orders to get accomplished. Today, the shuttle no longer exists, but the ( M ) Train now makes all stops in the region. Some residents believe the Shuttle was superior as the Trains had a shorter line to run, and it had led to longer wait times overall.
-------
The Playland Local Subway Line which has been the backbone of the service for the region for over a century has never had a track connection the upper level, but it used to have an access ramp to the Ocean Drive Shuttle from it's Broadway Bound direction. During the ( M ) Line Redesign, this connection was severed. A new connection from the Playland Local Line to the ( M ) Line has been made possible with Playland Local Trains getting the option to terminate at Play Stadium, or ( M ) Line Train able to be rerouted to Broadway or Wednesbury. This is mostly reserved for rerouting capabilities as it is not in normal revenue service.

Here are some BEFORE and AFTER Pictures of Breakridge Junction over the decades.

This angle is of the area where the ( M ) Line extension was built to head towards Play Stadium. Before that, Passengers had to walk 1.5 Miles from the Station in the background (Newtown Creek) to the Ball Park. It goes without saying, if you build the infrastructure, the people will come!

In the present day, the "Mai Playland" Amusement Park is peering over the horizon!

I wanted to provide this update before we move onto the ( D ) Line Extension project. There may be another update or two before we really kick off that project in earnest. We will see...
We have had a slower start than anticipated this Spring 2026 due to an "On the Job" injury. Now that I'm recuperating, De Island Transportation will once again be back to full strength, but I do not want to end up rushing and injuring Myself again.
See you all again soon!
