THOSE TRACKS THAT CROSS THE STREET ARE THE OLD SOUTH BROOKLYN RAILWAY TRACKS. THE CULVER SHUTTLE DID NOT CROSS THAT ROAD. IT RAMPED UP ON THE LEFT AND RAN ELEVATED TO DITMAS AV. WATCH THIS HISTORICAL TAPE FOR CLARIFICATION. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2TMdZV8r8albbs

[@mingkee27]

I walked on 37 Street and I found the part of ground after the track removed has red buildings lined up there

[@amazing50000]

Those tracks you could not find info on, did go to the 5th Ave EL. I saw another video with footage about the 5th Ave/Culver EL service in the 1930's. Those tracks going up the ramp to the 38 Street Yard was the connection between the 5th Ave EL and the Culver EL line. Trains coming from the 5th Ave EL use to go though the 38th street yard and then go down those ramps, then go into the lower platform at 9th Ave to connect with the Culver EL line.

Great little documentary on the Culver Line , my father was a Motorman on that line shorty after world war two , before he went to the surface line and operated trolleys , then electric buses and finally to regular buses , and oddly he finished his career with the Transit Authority at the 36th St. Depot as a bus shifter , almost a stones throw from the old Culver Line . Thanks for sharing this video with us all , real cool .

[@TRRailfan]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! That’s super interesting!

[@mkendallpk4321]

Another nice job! NYC seems to not understand what the ridership needs are too much of the time. Buses can never replace what the EL or Subway did.

[@dangelo1369]

Actually, yes they can. At the time most of these decisions were made to cut lines, the city was in dire financial straits. Hard decisions had to be made on what lines to keep open and what lines to discontinue or drop. Now given the population along the Culver shuttle corridor, it didn't make sense to continue a line that duplicated service from two other lines with greater ridership. In fact there's this: *_" In 1940 the Fifth Avenue El was suffering from poor ridership due to the Depression and the siphoning off of ridership by the 4th Avenue BMT line a block away. It closed. That same year, the city took over the three competing subway divisions, the BMT, IND and IRT. An IND extension had reached Church Avenue as early as 1933 but since the 1940 consolidation, a connection with the nearby Culver had just been a tantalizing possibility. It was finally attained in late 1954, meaning that subways could run through Cobble Hill, Park Slope and Kensington and then through to Coney Island. But it also meant that the section of the Culver which ran along the private right of way at 37th Street would eventually be doomed. It put up a brave face: some regular routes still ran from Ditmas Avenue (the first stop along McDonald Avenue) and Chambers Street (then the first stop in Manhattan after crossing the Manhattan Bridge) until 1959; from then until 1975, the old line was merely a shuttle, and as we’ll see, it was left to gradually deteriorate and die."_* -"Forgotten NY-Culver's Travels" [ forgotten-ny.com/2003/02/culvers-travels-the-demolition-of-a-brooklyn-elevated-link/] As much as we wax nostalgic for these train lines, we tend to forget that they have to be operated on city tax dollars and justify it's operations based on sound business practices. You have to analyze the decisions made in the context of when they were made then and not now. The Brooklyn of 40 years ago, is not the Brooklyn of today.

Man it would have been much more convenient for Culver line customers to get to Atlantic Terminal via the shuttle and D train

[@delphineprotopapas3931]

G. Lee Ugh yes, exactly :(

[@TRRailfan]

As a Culver Line customer, I can confirm that statement.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

You have the R train at 4th Avenue, so it’s not a total loss.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@nassaustloop Why do that when you can just take the F to 4th Avenue and get on the R train.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@nassaustloop Really, because it’s normally fine? Another preferred alternative is to not take the F train altogether if you’re going to Barclays Center. If you live south of Church Avenue, your best bet is to use the B and Q from nearby stations, since those lines are more reliable.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORY. I BROKE IN ON CULVER SHUTTLE IN 1968 AND I BROKE IN ON DIESEL WORK TRAINS IN 1970. BACK THEN THOSE MOTORMAN WERE "ROCKED RIBBED AND ANCIENT AS THE SUN", AND I WAS 24. NOW I AM.

[@TioTony74]

I grew up on 39th Street in the 80s and early 90s and did not know a lot about these old lines. I remember this older lady in our church talking about the old street cars and the elevated train that used to run on 5th Avenue and I remember there were little remnants everywhere such as those train tracks peeking out of the pavement. Thank you for your well researched video and also for inducing some nostalgia in me! I've lived outside of the New York area now for about 24 years but still always proud to say I grew up in Brooklyn which is such a gem in terms of the people and its history!

[@TRRailfan]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jackdepalma]

1970 I rode the shuttle to see a grateful dead show at the new Utrecht 46st theatre. Very obscure location. On Thursday I was there to meet the band arrive and helped heft the stage an old upright piano. Got a free ticket that night saw hot tuna and dead jam. Took that shuttle back home on the F line. Remember playing my lonely harmonica downstairs at that D train station.

[@thanbo]

There's a scene near the end of the movie Crocodile Dundee that was shot in the lower level of 9th Avenue. Lots of details of the wall decorations.

[@claudineamato1161]

MTA let the Culver shuttle rot. The 2 middle stations at 13th Avenue and at Fort Hamilton Parkway still had wooden platforms. It just sat there for several years after it was discontinued before they dismantled that section.

[@johnd.lictro1312]

It sat until the late 80's.

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

And yet the Myrtle Ave el was dismantled and razed within a year after it's closing.

[@1575murray]

As of 2023 the crossovers that connect the local tracks to the center express track just north of Ditmas Ave. have been relocated underground leaving only the switch between the express track and the two express tracks on the connecting ramp that opened in 1954 when the D train was extended over the Culver line to Coney Island. In 1967 the D was rerouted over the Manhattan Bridge to the Brighton line and replaced with an extended F train.

[@goldengatesubwaydude7484]

The lower level of Ninth Avenue was featured in the 1988 film Crocodile Dundee II and the 2019 film Joker

[@evandoorbell4278]

Great job! In 1975 my friend Ben and I rode the Culver shuttle and he took lots of pictures. Ben also rode the last train on the Culver shuttle. A few years later we attended the meeting where the MTA heard from the public about their plan to eliminate the FRANKLIN shuttle. They literally had no idea that many people use the Franklin shuttle to transfer between those two lines in Brooklyn, and that without it it would be necessary to go into Manhattan to make that transfer. That meeting saved the Franklin shuttle.

[@TRRailfan]

Amazing! Do you have any pictures digitized?

[@evandoorbell4278]

@@TRRailfan Sorry I don't; Ben had the pics and I don't know what became of them. Ben has been out of touch for over 10 years (I think it's because he works with the VERY security-conscious government in his new country of residence and doesn't want to raise eyebrows by being in touch with a former telephone hacker/Phone Phreak (me) ) BTW if you're at all curious about what the old pre-digital telephone network sounded like, Ben's and my tapes are all over my KZbin channel.

Yea

[@-inactive-noobydanger4278]

But how would it run? The roads were built across some of the tracks not providing good train service. I mean sure there can be a railroad crossing but it’s a city, not a Country side

[@TRRailfan]

[@TheRailLeaguer]

That’s not really a high demand service, considering the route can be better served by buses.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@DerrickTan74 There’s a better alternative to the Culver Shuttle, which is taking the bus crosstown. It’s a relatively quick ride. The F and D transfer is completely not important.

[@scytheyt4051]

I think they should add that back into the subway but it’s only In use for when there is track work in the culver line. Southbound?. So we can still have a way to get to get around. I pulled a 200 IQ maybe. lol

[@latishashaw5747]

There is a problem tho the display would need to be updated by and it would take a lot of people out of there house and it would cost a lot of money. Other than that I this they should bring it back bot for all day service.

[@Stanf954]

Those ramps were for the old 5th Av El

[@TRRailfan]

Yes

[@michaelleggett3980]

Well done! This line could've still connected to the 4th Avenue BMT & be run to Chambers Street on the Nassau Loop.

[@TRRailfan]

That would be a cool service. Things have changed though, so that would no longer be possible for several reasons.

[@subwayfantx1608]

especially going from South Brooklyn to the Nassau Street line which ran for many decades until 2008.

[@jackdepalma]

The connection at Metro Tech fixed all my issues getting to or from the R or the F. So much easier there at Metrotech Jay St & Lawrence st to transfer. Watched the building during time working at Bklyn Tech HS. Easier than at 4th Ave & 9st to get the R to bay ridge. And now I live in Bklyn Hts. And not by Kings Hiway on the F line. JD

[@topliner9534]

Thanks very much for this. I remember the debates in the 70's about whether to close the Culver line. In addition to the comment below about the South Brooklyn Railway tracks, which is true, there were street level tracks under the el along McDonald Ave. for the 50-McDonald trolley line, which used early model PCCs. It lasted until about 1956.

[@TRRailfan]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! After the trolley line went out of service, the tracks were occasionally used to move equipment between 38 St Yard, Parkville Junction, and Coney Island Yard.

[@johnd.lictro1312]

The MTA gave poor reasons for closing it, just excuses. The stations were in pathetic shape, but the El structure was identical to the West End Line and was more than structurally sound. Despite promises of more bus service, like all their "promises" it didn't last long. A thousand people a day is a lot of extra people for the B35 to handle.

[@danielwrynn4707]

Excellent video on the old Culver Shuttle.

[@1575murray]

The MTA wasn't created until the mid 1960s. When the Culver line was rerouted to the IND the transit system was run by the New York City Transit Authority which replaced the Board of Transportation as the operator of the bus and subway systems. The TA did a lot of work in the 1950s extending the IND over former BMT and LIRR trackage and replacing thousands of worn out cars and replacing outdated infrastructure. Unfortunately important projects such as the Second Avenue Subway had to wait a long time before being built.
