Tuscarora Almanac for November 5


1888 – from the Books of First Runs and Wrecks

November 5 – The first section of the 5th Avenue El opens between Atlantic Avenue and the Fulton Ferry Terminal on the Old Main Line. The line runs north along Flatbush Avenue and Hudson Avenue. It joins the Old Main Line at Park Avenue.

November 6 – Service is discontinued to a collision between a 5th Avenue El and a Myrtle Avenue El train at the grade crossing of Hudson Avenue and Myrtle.

The line re-opens on June 21, 1889 with 5th Avenue trains re-routed onto the Myrtle Avenue Line going towards Jay Street.


1916 – from The Book of First Runs

The IRT Queensboro Line is extended from Hunters Point Avenue to Queensboro Plaza.


1946 – from The Book of Last Runs

This is the last day of service on the IRT Bergen Avenue Cutoff. The cutoff had been used by 2nd Avenue - Freeman Street Elevated trains until 1940 and then by the 3rd Avenue - Freeman Street trains. It allowed them to bypass the busy 149 Street Station.
