Track connections curve away from the vicinity
of the Ditmas Ave. station on the Culver Line (today's F train) and then are
sheared off abruptly. This represents the original BMT route, which
connected near 9th Ave. with the West End Line. After the IND took over
the route in mid 1950s, a lightly used shuttle service remained for a couple
of decades. Its short trains plied four stations on the
truncated line. |
