Church - McDonald Streetcar Line died 10/31/56

/Tonight is the anniversary of the end of streetcars in Brooklyn on 10/31/56 which may have been also a Wednesday.   On this date, the Church Avenue, Church - McDonald and the Cortelyou Road trolleybus (B-23) also ended.  In this shot taken off the web shows a southbound Church - McDonald streetcar along the incline of the IND subway system between Ditmas and Church Avenue stations.  To the right of the PCC streetcar is a R-1-9 subway car going south towards the Ditmas Avenue station.  The Brooklyn - Queens Tram shown below is not doing well and around a week ago it was declared that the Staten Island Ferris Wheel is also dead.   I guess trolleys in Brooklyn, old or new and a ferris wheel in Staten Island were not meant to be.
