Bob Vogel reports:
The NY Transit Museum's A/B BMT Standards ran between 18th Avenue and Kings Highway stations on the Culver Line in Brooklyn Thursday to celebrate the centennial of Brooklyn Manhattan Transit.
Between 18th Avenue and Kings Highway, the Culver Line ("F") is an 105-year-old elevated structure, about as old as the BMT itself. And the first "Steels," Stillwell-designed, arrived to the predicessor Brooklyn Rapid Transit in 1915, first operating as single cars with trolley poles for a short time on most of the Sea Beach ("N") line.
Lest we forget: the reason for "Brooklyn Manhattan Transit" was the Malbone Street wreck, the many, many lawsuits from which broke the BRT.
