Actually two of the three loops were built. The first loop entered Manhttan at 60st Street and returns to Brooklyn via the Manny B or Montague Street. The second loop came over the Willy B and ran down Centre Street to return to Bkyln via the Brooklyn Bridge. The so-called "Centre Street Loop". The connection to the Brooklyn Bridge was of course never completed. The Centre Street tracks were connected to Nassau Street tracks in 1931. Sometimes this is referred to as the "Centre St-Nassau St Loop". The third loop was to enter Manhattan via the Manny B (south tracks) and return to Bklyn via the Montague Street Tunnel. This was built. Interestingly there was very little through revenue service from the Willy B back to Brooklyn via Montague Street until November 1967 (Chrystie Street). Larry, RedbirdR33 |
