It was envisioned even going back to Mayor Hylan's idea for the planning of the IND was to have a subway route in operation for a one-seat ride between the Bronx and Coney Island. That included the city trying to recapture the Culver elevated line away from the BMT."F" trains since their December 15, 1940 inception in service had been operated to and from Church Avenue, while the "D" was to and from Chambers Street-Hudson Terminal. With later unification and finally track connections completed literally by 12:00 noon on Saturday, October 30, 1954, Hylan's vision and dream finally came, by also swapping the "F" from Queens with the "D" from the Bronx. The "F" would take over when Chrystie Street opened, and the "D" went to the Brighton Line instead. And so it goes... Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue; October 30, 1954; Photos by Brian J.
