Nostrand Avenue Trolley - North Section - 1912-1951
Source: B.Linder & Edward B. Watson, New York Division Bulletin, Vol. 20, No. 2, April, 1977, pp.2-5.
The Nostrand Avenue trolley in Brooklyn was a long route, running from the underground trolley terminal at Delancey Street in Manhattan to Nostrand Avenue and Avenue U in Brooklyn. It was a busy line that started its' life with horsecars on Junuary 5, 1871 and was electrified on May 10, 1894. The line did not always go to Delancey Street via the Williamsburg Bridge. The bridge years were from 1904 to 1923 and from 1931 to December 5, 1948. The track diagram was very complicated and there were certain "derivative" lines such as the Nostand Shuttle, Nostrand-Culver, Nostrand-Prospect Park, and the Holy Cross Cemetery Line that are associated with the trackage. Perhaps if we have time, these "derivatives" will be explained. Thank you, B. Linder for your historical work.
