There was trolley wire all the way down to the 63rd dock, but the main service was a trolley from 63rd Street & 3rd Avenue el station to Coney Island. In addition (and later than the beginning of trolley service) el trains of the BRT Coney Island Express ran from Park Row via 5th Avenue and West End and then to Coney Island from Bath Junction.All electric, all surface. While the cut was being built, trolleys ran in the cut, still using trolley wire to maintain some service on what was called the 63rd Street-Sea Beach Line. |
