It was narrow gauge when it first opened in 1878, along with the rest of the NY & Manhattan Beach Railway (which included the Manhattan Beach and Bay Ridge lines). It was made Standard gauge in 1881 after the LIRR and NY&MBRy came under the same ownership (Austin Corbin)and they wanted to make connections to the Atlantic Ave. and LIC branches. |
