We used to get off at Marcy Ave to go to Peter Luger's, so I'm familiar with the area. After the shuttle was closed on 07/03/1916, the spur was kept for 3 reasons: conduit for the Kent Ave power cables, storage for the 1000 series (I believe) gate cars that ran on the rush hour B'way-Bklyn to from Canal St, and possible restoration of shuttle service. The talk for restoration reached its height in 1921. As to why Driggs Ave was on your map, without B'way Ferry, I don't know. My maps show an unmarked spur, west of Marcy Ave. |
