Flushing and Graham Avenues Line BRT (Sands Street) (still on the bridge in 1916; cut back by 1937; placed back on the bridge by 1948 when it was bustituted; cut back to Adams and High Streets then)
DeKalb Avenue Line CI&B (kept on the bridge in 1937; cut back to High and Adams Streets before being bustituted in 1949)
Fifth Avenue Line NE to Coney Island via West End and to Fort Hamilton (Sands Street?) - the only one taken off by 1906 (truncated to Fulton Ferry and South Ferry; same in 1916)
According to "New Lines of Travel". Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
Brooklyn, NY. 25 February 1898. p. 2. the next ones were Putnam and Seventh. So where's the other one? Did Third somehow count as two? Did it include Court Street?
Sea Beach Line BRT via both Court Street and Flatbush Avenue to Third Avenue; Sundays and holidays only (see July 31 article) (still on the bridge in 1906; became rapid transit by 1916)
Flushing Avenue Line BRT (Sands Street) (still on the bridge in 1948 when it was bustituted; cut back to Adams and High Streets then)
Unknown additions
Bergen Street Line NE by February 1900; after February 1898 (still on the bridge in 1916; cut back by 1937)
Court Street Line BRT by April 1901 (note that this was also part of the Sea Beach; it may have been added then) (still on the bridge in 1916; cut back by 1937)
Erie Basin Line BRT not even introduced until after 1916 (may have replaced
Hicks Street Line? that didn't go to Park Row) (kept on the bridge in 1937)
St. Johns Place Line NE by July 1900, but not in April 1901 list; possibly an error; after February 1898 (ran to Borough Hall in 1916)
Union Street Line NE wasn't built until 1901 (still on the bridge in 1916; rerouted away from downtown before 1937)
Vanderbilt Avenue Line NE by April 1901; probably by September 1898; after February 1898; mentioned in
May 23,
1898, but possibly not running yet; the line was connected to the Culver Line in mid-1899 (still on the bridge in 1916; cut back by 1937)
This brochure details the patterns starting on
January 10,
1937, when each route was changed to serve only one terminal; unfortunately it does not show the pre-change routings. It does mention that 9 lines had gone to Park Row, including Flatbush Avenue.
Park Row via Fulton, Washington, and private ROW west of Washington north of Tillary (where did this connect to the bridge?)
I have just modified one external link on
Brooklyn Bridge trolleys. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
