I believe it was between Eastern Pkwy-Brooklyn Museum and Franklin Avenue. My Mom used to tell me about that from her commuting days (from Newkirk to 23rd St-Park Ave S)wayne |

Very, very few pockets of ruin. We have a client in East Flatbush with a satellite site on Rockaway Avenue. All the side streets appear to be well-tended and there are more stores open than closed. Whilst I can't vouch for what goes on after dark (and under they eyes of the law), I've not had any problems to date (despite my initial apprehension).wayne |

Btw on the trip back to Manhattan, Something hit the roof of the Lo V, creating a very loud bang. IDK if it damaged the Lo V or not but the trip still ended as planed at Gunhill road. |

The reason it was done at Bkln Museum is becAuse it was the only station N/O Fkln where the jumpers that were used on the Hi-Vs could be easily transferred from S/B to N/B trains. 10 car trains from V/C arrived at Bkln Mus and the south 5 cars were cut and went to N/Lts. The north 5 cars went to Flatbush and when the both halves arrived N/B at Bkln Mus, the same sections were able to couple up and the original 10 car consist went north back to V/C. |

I would assume that the middle was intended to go all the way to N/Lts but with the demographics s they were when the line was built, it was probably decided not to extend the middle track ant further. |

Although a ten-car train need only stop at the edge of the portal to clear the reverse home signal and head back to Utica. |

Travel the neighborhood in Google street view and you will see that much of it is ship-shape. Even the most feared parts of the area seem to have rebounded.wayne |
