词条 | Hicks Street Line |
释义 |
The Hicks Street Line was a public transit line in Brooklyn, New York City, United States, running from the Ninth Avenue Depot at Greenwood Cemetery to the Brooklyn Bridge. HistoryWhen the New York State Legislature chartered the Greenwood and Coney Island Railroad in 1874, its lines included Hicks Street from Hamilton Avenue to Fulton Street near Fulton Ferry.[1] The Atlantic Avenue Railroad acquired the right to build this line through a January 1, 1886 lease of the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad's (Culver Line's) horse railroad properties.[2] Construction began on the line in Hicks Street, only built between the 15th Street Line in Hamilton Avenue and the company's trackage in Atlantic Avenue, in November 1888.[3][4] The line began operations in late May or early June 1889, and ran along the existing 15th Street Line from the Ninth Avenue Depot of the Culver Line, through Ninth Avenue, 15th Street, and Hamilton Avenue, then onto the new trackage on Hicks Street, and along Atlantic Avenue and the Adams Street and Boerum Place Line to the Brooklyn end of the Brooklyn Bridge.[5] Hoyt and Sackett Streets Line cars, which had passed through Hoyt Street between Sackett Street and Atlantic Avenue, were rerouted to use Hicks Street.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}} Eventually the line stopped operating, and the only cars to use Hicks Street were those on an alternate routing of the Crosstown Line, using Hicks Street instead of Columbia Street.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}} This alternate route ended in 1921.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}} References1. ^{{cite news | work = Brooklyn Daily Eagle | location = Brooklyn, NY | url = |title=From Albany|date = 12 March 1874|page=2}} {{Brooklyn streetcar lines}}2. ^Brooklyn Daily Eagle, A Big Lease, December 21, 1885, page 4 3. ^{{cite news | work = Brooklyn Daily Eagle | location = Brooklyn, NY | url = |title=Richardson's Hicks Street Line|date = 11 November 1888|page=8}} 4. ^{{cite news | work = Brooklyn Daily Eagle | location = Brooklyn, NY | url = |title=Mr. Richardson's New Road|date = 12 December 1888|page=6}} 5. ^{{cite news | work = Brooklyn Daily Eagle | location = Brooklyn, NY | url = |title=Richardson's New Road|date = 3 June 1889|page=1}} 4 : Streetcar lines in Brooklyn|Defunct public transport operators in the United States|Defunct New York (state) railroads|Predecessors of the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation |
