Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Thu Jun 18 08:39:31 2026 Tuscarora Almanac for June 18 1924 – from The Book of First Runs BMT “A” Type 2700 becomes the first subway car to enter the new 14th Street Subway. As built it was known as 14th Street-Eastern District Line and was isolated form the rest of the BMT system. A temporary track was laid in the street from the nearby Long Island Railroad Yard to Montrose Avenue station. A ramp was constructed over the Manhattan bound track. A cable winch was then used to lower the new cars into the subway. This arrangement lasted until 1928. 1954 – from The Book of Last Runs This is the last day for streetcar service in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Note: Light rail service returned to Minneapolis on June 20, 2004 with the opening of the Metro Blue Line. 1959 – from The Book of First Runs “A” and “B” Skip-Stop Service begins on the Jamaica Line. The service will be operating Manhattan-bound leaving from 168th Street-Jamaica from 7:06 to 8:24 AM. # 14 Broadway-Brooklyn Locals will make “B” and “AB” stops while # 15 Jamaica Expresses will make “A” and “AB” stops. # 14 168th Street 160th Street Sutphin Boluevard Queens Boulevard Metropolitan Avenue 102nd Street Elderts Lane Cypress Hills Norwood Avenue Van Siclen Avenue Alabama Avenue Eastern Parkway #14 trains will then make all local stops to Canal Street. #15 168th Street Sutphin Boulevard 121st Street 111th Street Woodhaven Boulevard Forest Parkway Crescent Street Cleveland Street Eastern Parkway #15 trains will then run express stopping at Myrtle Avenue and Essex Street and then making all stops to Broad Street. 1965 – from The Book of Last Runs The LIRR no longer carries US Mail. The remaining RPO’s, numbered in the 4200 series will be scrapped. 1966 – from The Book of Last Runs This is the last day for trackless trolley service in Montreal, Quebec. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

Great walk down memory Lane.Now Imagin if the underused LIRR Montauk Branch were to do a 2-level underground connection in the same area. Think of the possibilities From Jamaica to Manhattan. |

This operation had to be done because the 14th Street-Eastern line (as it was called then) had no connection to the rest of the BMT system. The trackage between Montrose Avenue and Manhattan Junction (now called Broadway Junction) would not be completed for some time because Mayor Hylan refused to fund its construction. The line was also extended to Eighth Avenue in Manhattan after its connection to the Canarsie line was completed. |

Great pix and great BMT ingenuity!Imagine trying to do something like that today; just paperwork for the environmental impact statements would outweigh an AB :-) |
