You are thinking of the late 1930's in terms of 2012. My mother's family used both the Fulton el and the "new" IND Fulton subway. When the Fulton el from Sands Street to Rockaway Ave closed on June 1st, 1940, no one mourned its passing. Unlike the 2nd Ave and the 9th ave els in Manhattan there was no brooklyn counterparts to the Bronx Civic association or other organizations trying to stop the closings and demolitions. The Fulton and the 5th Ave els passed on without too many mourners in Brooklyn! |
