Yanosey Tuscarora Almanac - May 10 - 11 , 1975 - The Book of Last Runs Brooklyn, New York New York City Transit Authority BMT Division This is the last full day of service on the BMT Culver Shuttle. The final eastbound train left from the lower level of 9th Avenue Station at 11:54 PM and arrived at Ditmas Avenue at 12 Midnight. The last westbound train left 12:06 AM on May 11, 1975 and arrived back at 9th Avenue six minutes later. The consist was (w) 8525-24, 8059-58. The R-27/30’s which had been assigned here; 8032-3, 8046-7, 8058-9, 8146-7, 8256-7 and 8524-5 had been modified to operate only in “series”. They will now be re-modified back to normal operation. They also were the last cars to carry BMT-Type third rail shoes as the Culver Shuttle was the last line to use third rail in the elevated position. Source: New York Division Bulletins /April and June 1975 Personal Note: I rode the Culver Line on May 10 during the daytime. As a shuttle the line had a charm all its own. There was no denying that the platforms at Fort Hamilton Parkway and 13th Avenue were in bad shape. Nevertheless I was sad to see it go. Tuscarora Almanac – May 10, 1985 – The Book of Last Runs Flushing, New York New York City Transit Authority IRT Division Express service on the No. 7 Flushing Line will be discontinued for about four years. This is being done to allow reconstruction of the viaduct on Queens Boulevard. Source: New York Division Bulletin / June 1985 Larry, RedbirdR33 |
