The BRT, after losing their bridge charter to the Williamsburg Bridge interests in 1896, still thought they had another chance to build a bridge to Manhattan from their Hudson Ave el line. So, they included this shuttle track in the third railing. But, they could not electrify the Myrtle-Fulton Ferry shuttle because all available power was needed for Sands St and Park Row trains and streetcars.
