I can't find the exact context to include this; it appears the Williamsburgh and Newtown Railroad built the track into Queens on Maspeth Avenue. --NE2 09:13, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Williamsburgh and Newtown Railroad and Maspeth Avenue and Toll Bridge Company merged in mid-1867 to form the Maspeth Railroad and Bridge Company.[1]

I'm reading "Brooklyn Streetcars," by the Branford Electric Railway Association and it states that the North Beach Line (BMT Trolley) was part of the Grand Street Line until February 6, 1946. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 05:34, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

B59 => Q59 ?

Anybody know when this happened? Couldn't find anything about it in a quick newspaper archive search...Headphase (talk) 06:51, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Streetcar/trolley photo

[edit]

Article could really use a photo of a GS&NRR/BCR/BMT trolley that was used prior to it becoming a bus route. There must be some usable ones out there!Headphase (talk) 07:27, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
