Posted by Elkeeper on Mon Mar 5 23:16:43 2018, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for March 5, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Mon Mar 5 15:21:53 2018. It took about a year for the City to convince the wartime Office of Defense Transportation to allow BMT el trains to cease operation over the bridge. When the feds were finally convinced that the center tracks would be used for a rail purpose (Brooklyn streetcars), they allowed the abandonment. The last train left Park Row at about 12 Noon and rolled through Bridge St at 12:08PM. The tracks just west of the station were immediately embargoed with rail ties secureded atop the tracks. |
