The Tuscarora Book of Forgotten Stations No. 21 - Chestnut Street Incline |

Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sat Jan 16 08:38:01 2021 The Tuscarora Book of Forgotten Stations No. 21 (and parts thereof) – Chestnut Street Incline Brooklyn, New York Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company The Chestnut Street Incline was a connection between BRT Lexington Avenue El and the Long Island Railroad. The connection was located just to the west of Crescent Street station on what we known today as the BMT Jamaica Line. It ran south a few blocks to a junction with the Long Island Railroad (LIRR). This permitted through operation of BRT and LIRR between the Rockaways and the Broadway Ferry. It was in use from July 17, 1898 to September 3, 1917. The original western terminus was at the East River at the Broadway Ferry Terminal. Service was extended across the Williamsburg Bridge to the Delancey Street Terminal (today’s Essex Street) on May 30, 1909 and finally to Chambers Street on August 4, 1913. There was also a short lived service between the BRT and Jamaica Station on the LIRR. This service began on October 4, 1989 and was discontinued on January 10, 1899.

I never heard about this one! I'm guessing that this car line ran between Manhattan Junction, via Jamaica Ave to the LIRR. Unless it ran via Jamaica Ave to Crescent, to Fulton & Vansicklen. Also, the BRT was not formed until 1896. |

When the service began it was operated by the Brooklyn Union Elevated Company which later came under BRT control. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

The third photo from the top is interesting. The remnants of the Broadway Ferry spur stayed up until the 1940 Unification because it carried the power from the Kent Ave powerhouse to supply the Broadway elevated. |

Like Tunnelrat, I have not heard of this particular service. So, i thought it might have been a surface car operation. |

Mike: There was a silent movie made in 1928 called “Speedy”. It starred Harold Lloyd. The story is that Pops Dillion runs the last horsecar line in New York. Greedy traction barons want to get rid of him so they kidnap the horse and take him to a storage yard on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn. Our hero, Harold Lloyd rescues the horse and is them chased across two borough by the bad guys. The film was shot on location so you can see trains stored on the Broadway Ferry spur not to mention the 9th Avenue El at Battery Place. The film is available on you tube. I believe that our friend Tunnelrat served as an “extra” in the movie. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

What route did it follow south? The switches were located at about Chestnut Street. The line then ran south as an elevated structure over a private right of way. This ROW was bounded by Chestnut Street to the west and Euclid Avenue to the east. Once the line reached Atlantic Avenue it turned east and ramped down to the surface to merge with the Long Island Railroad. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

According to Google Street View there was what looked like an abandoned industrial building on that property until its demolition in 2018. I'm wondering if there had been any remnants of the elevated structure when the building still stood. |

I think he's referring to the BRT el service to Jamaica station via this connection. This is news to me as well. I wonder what happened and why the BRT chose to build the ramp at Cypress Hills to street level instead of this routing.... |

BRT had a commitment to run along Jamaica Avenue given that thousands of houses were to be built along it, which were to serve businesses all along the way on Jamaica Av in Richmond Hill and Woodhaven. Atlantic Avenue was too far away.BRT never ran a joint service with LIRR to anywhere except Rockaway Beach even though LIRR-Jamaica and points east would have been physically possible. Too bad. It would have been like the Chicago interurbans jumping onto the L in the Loop and at Howard. But that would have been competition against the LIRR west of Chestnut Street into Flatbush Terminal for Wall Streeters. |

Once the LIRR submerged itself under Atlantic Av in 1942, that would have killed it right then and there.Had it survived, the Jamaica el would have been torn down east of 111th, but never replaced with Archer. |

After purchasing a bunch of these cars in 1905 for operation in newly-electrified territory, the LIRR purchased new MP54 cars in 1909-10. The shorter, MP41 cars were eventually relegated to rapid-transit service along the Atlantic branch and the longer and newer MP54 cars were used in the rest of electrified territory. I've never seen the coupler pushed over to one side like that. The last two MP41 cars to see LIRR service (#'s 1100, 1101) were used on the Mitchel Field Shuttle into the late 1940s, when they were replaced by two MP54 cars. (See image above from 1908 and note the coupler.) Archive/Info: Dave Keller  MP41 convertible third rail shoe from the LIRR to the BMT
