May 11, 1975. . .End of the Culver shuttle |
|
Posted by Newkirk Plaza David on Fri May 11 11:56:12 2007 It took 21 years since the IND invaded the Culver Line, but the last remains of the Culver shuttle have ended, making it's final run on May 11, 1975. The shuttle, running on the southbound single track from the lower level of 9th Ave to Ditmas Ave on the F, carried a scant number of passengers but a strong and loyal following in the railfan community.It was also the day that a full length subway line (and structure) was last eliminated, never to be replaced. (B35 buses do not count.) |
