67 Years Ago Today… “How to Raise Money For 2nd Ave. Line”
The Phony…
“…Where You Can Get Off”… 69 years ago this week…
69 Years Ago Today… “A Train Goes from Brooklyn…”
PM Daily, March 6, 1944, p. 12
“You could cut the air of nostalgia with a knife yesterday as the BMT train rolled sadly over the Brooklyn Bridge for the last time. These were passengers for the finale… Workmen close the elevated track forever and the line becomes a thing of the past. Passengers are instructed to use surface cars and transfer at Jay St. and Myrtle Ave… … A singularly cheerful crowd for such a melancholy occasion waves bye-bye from the rear of the last car.”
