Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Sun Aug 23 11:07:29 2026, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac for August 22, posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Sat Aug 22 21:53:26 2026. Steve: The water-main break occurred in the early hours of Sunday, August 22, 1965. All service between the BMT southern division and Manhattan was suspended. I was out there that day. The following service ran on Sunday in Brooklyn. N- 36th Street – Coney Island QB – Franklin Avenue – Coney Island RR-36th Street – 95th Street TT – 36th Street – Coney Island Culver Shuttle – 9th Avenue – Ditmas Avenue Shuttle buses ran along Fourth Avenue between Pacific Street and 36th Street. Free transfer were then issued to the IRT at Atlantic Avenue There were two services in Manhattan. QB – Ditmars Boulevard – Canal Street RR – 57th Street – Whitehall Street. Monday, August 23 was similar except that the Franklin Avenue – Coney Island trains were not designated as QT. However single track shuttles ran between Pacific Street and 36th Street replacing the buses. They each used there own track, no switching. In Manhattan the RR ran between Forest Hills and Whitehall Street from 6 AM to 7 PM, otherwise it terminated at 57th Street. I believe (but am not sure ) that by the time of the PM rush some service was restored over the bridge with West End and Sea Beach Line train. There also was some service to the Brighton Line by way of the Sea Beach Line. By Tuesday evening there were four services running over the bridge, Brighton, West End, Sea Beach and Fourth Avenue Local. In order to provide service to Whitehall Street the TT ran between that station and Ditmars Boulevard. Full service was restored by Wednesday morning. This is the best that I can remember.
