Leaving here we ran over the Brooklyn Bridge. This section to Jay Street was torn down in the 1950s due to added vehicle traffic over the Brooklyn Bridge which removed the trains in favor of cars. A walk or drive over the bridge will show the separate traffic lane each way which once held the train track (one each side.)

Sands Street No added information available

Adams Street No added information available

Bridge Jay Street had two tracks and an island platform. This section used special lightweight cars and probably ended their trips (according to Joe Cunningham) at Wyckoff, on the center track (now possibly being converted to a single island platform.). If any one has further information it is appreciated. Legend has it that the R34 car (never ordered) was supposed to run on this line which was demolished instead. See www.nycsubway.org for more information on the R34 car. 2/13/1888-10/4/1969

Broadway (/Myrtle) -- UPPER LEVEL had two tracks and an island platform. See Broadway/ Myrtle (See J or M Pages) for details. A short section remains today as a "memorial" to the line.

During rush hours, some trains from Metropolitan Avenue turned off  after Broadway Myrtle Upper Level and ran over today’s route over the Williamsburg bridge.
