The Atlantic Avenue Tunnel (or LIRR Tunnel) is an abandoned subway tunnel built in 1844, the oldest in the world, running beneath Atlantic Avenue for about 2750 feet between Hicks Street and Boerum Place. It had been sealed in 1861, fell into myth, and only rediscovered by the 18-year-old Robert "Bob" Diamond in 1981, who entered from a manhole at Atlantic and Court Street.
