canned some negatives that were never printed, apparently of a Brooklyn fan-trip around 1949 WE used 8525, a double-end car that had been converted for usual single-end operation while keeping its double-end capabilities, with a turnstile at the new single end, around 1929. About 40 such 8000's were converted, as an experiment before the single-end 6000's were ordered in 1930. After the 6000's replaced them on the heavy Flatbush Avenue line, they spent the rest of their careers on the Myrtle Avenue line, which ran under the Myrtle Avenue elevated, and is a bus line today. I think the fantrip was run on the day of that lines last day of operation, or the day before, with these cars being scrapped afterward.
The last years of operation in Brooklyn had just three PCC lines operating, Church, Coney Island Avenue, and McDonald Avenue. But ten or 15 double-end 8000's were kept to the end so emergency service could be provided using trailing crossovers for cutback operation when part of one or the other of the liens was blocked.
The 6000's on xhop truks at DeKalb shopa probably had been cannibalized for their trucks and motors to keep double-end 8000's running/

Our fantrip car on its home territory under the Mrtle Avenue elevated.
Below at the end of the Metropolitan Avenue line at Jamaica Avenue. Jamaica Avenue also had a streetcar line, which I rode on its last evening, 1948, but with out pictures.

Also, same location:

I think this location is on Ocaan Parkway, normally home to the 8100's, 8000's with field-tap connecdtions added to their motors for higher speed, with 8111 at Branford - Shore Line Trolley Musuem

And here is 8112, sister to our 8111, definitely on Ocean Avenue

I apologize for the whiite spots. Now that I see them I'll be able to repair these photos and replace these submittals with the repaired ones.
The ramp to the upper level at DeKalb shops:

I think this location is near East New York, where the Jamaica Aenue "J" crosses over the Fresh Pond Junction - Jamaica LIRR line, (now freight-only?).

And below is on Stillwell Avene, Coney Island, adjacent to the rapid-transit Stillwell Avenue Coney Island Station. The West End and Bey Ridge streetcar lines ran to this point.
