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 and later Driggs Avenue. Fifth Street was three minutes away from Greenpoint Terminal. The station closed in 1879. This is evident as Fifth Street is not mentioned on the 1880 season timetable.
