Posted by SLRT on Fri Oct 31 15:18:54 2014, in response to Tuscarora Almanac - October 31, 1956 - The Book of Last Runs, posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Fri Oct 31 07:33:36 2014. And as the song goes "Part of my childhood died. Just died."The fall of Brooklyn streetcars was dramatically swift. When I was born in 1946 the system was pretty much intact. The year I was 5 years old the entire system was gone except 3 lines (Church, McDonald, Coney Island) -- (4 if you considered Church to 16th Avenue a separate line -- it once was). The year I turned 9 Coney Island Avenue was gone, and I was just 10 when this event ended it all. Often overlooked is that the 23-Cortelyou Road trolley bus, the original line in Brooklyn, ended on the same date as the trolleys. Now there is no B23 at all. |
