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.[1] Fifth Street was three minutes away from Greenpoint Terminal.[2] The station closed in 1879.[3][4] This is evident as Fifth Street is not mentioned on the 1880 season timetable.[5]
