[PHOTO] Old BMT Culver Line Photo

Posted by Bill Newkirk on Wed Nov 5 19:10:46 2025

Rare photo of the BMT Culver line but exactly where ? That school building on the left may be a clue.
Another clue is the signal by the center track eluding to a switch.
The 1300 series convertible gate cars are the Culver - 5th Ave line. The BMT Standards should be Culver-Nassau service. (undated photo)

From what i remember from living for a few years in the area, the station in the distance is Ave P so the interlocking signals would be part of the Kings Highway interlocking.

Thank you for your response. Also the school building was a clue too.

Beat me to it. That’s PS 177 The Marlboro School in the left on Ave. P.

That building is an example of the ‘U-69’ type by William Gompert.
Although it’s missing the west wing.
