Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Sat May 10 09:01:43 2025 Tuscarora Almanac for May 10 1919 from The Book of First Runs The Contract IV Culver Line elevated structure is extended from Kings Highway to Avenue X. 1924 from The Book of First Runs BMT No. 7 Franklin-Nassau trains begin service. They will operate on weekends during the summer between Franklin Avenue Terminal in Brooklyn and Chambers Street Station in Manhattan. Trains will operated via the express tracks of the Brighton, Sea Beach and Fourth Avenue lines and the tracks on the south side of the Manhattan Bridge. 1975 from The Book of Last Runs 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-27/30s 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. 1974 from The Book of Last Runs This is the last day of trackless trolley service in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
