The new Myrtle Avenue connection of the BRT, which joins the Broadway, Brooklyn, and Myrtle Avenue lines, will be put in operation tomorrow afternoon at 5 o clock, in time to take care of the homegoing crowds. This is the first track under the dual subway system agreement to be put in operation, although the Loop line, which was built two or three years before the rapid transit agreement was made, began to run trains on Aug. 4. The connection will make possible a through service from Chambers Street through the Loop by the Williamsburg Bridge to Ridgewood without the change of cars at Myrtle Avenue and Broadway. The Ridgewood trains will start from Chambers Street and will run through to Metropolitan Avenue, the terminal station of the Lutheran Cemetery line. This will make it no longer necessary to operate a short line service from the Bowery station of the Loop line to Broadway and Myrtle Avenue in order to take care of the Ridgewood business.
Shouldn't there be a separate article on the Myrtle Avenue El? See http://www.forgotten-ny.com/SUBWAYS/myrtle/myrtle.el.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottyBerg ( talk • contribs) 17:27, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
article states it closed on Broadway to Jay Street closed on October 4, 1969
I recall riding in the "70's and found that the line closed May 11, 1975. At that time I attended Pratt Institute and took it a few times. I would walk from my school Pratt to the el it wasn't that far. Maybe it did not go to Jay St at that time. The IND stop was the GG train Clinton and Washington and you can see on a subway map that Myrtle Ave was not that far away
I think this needs to be spelled out what really happened on May 11, 1975. The issue is I don't have the information to explain the discrepancy.

I looked at the maps for 1968 and saw this

then in 1974 this

this shows all the maps

looks like my memory failed me and I don't understand how I remember walking over and taking the El a few times before it closed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.22.15.154 ( talk) 18:26, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Does anybody have the slightest info on the 1969 fire that brought about the closure and eventual demoltion of the line west of Broadway (BMT Myrtle Avenue Line)? --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 17:36, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
