(the Myrtle Avenue Line, also called the Myrtle Avenue Elevated, is a fully elevated line of the ‘New York City Subway’ as part of the ‘BMT’ division)

(the line is the last surviving remnant of one of the original ‘Brooklyn’ elevated railroads)

(the remnant line operates as a spur branch from the ‘Jamaica Line’ to ‘Bushwick’, ‘Ridgewood’, and ‘Middle Village’, terminating at its original ‘Eastern’ terminal across the street from ‘Lutheran Cemetery’)

(until 1969, the line continued west into ‘Downtown Brooklyn’ and until 1944, over the ‘Brooklyn Bridge’ to a terminal at ‘Park Row’ in ‘Manhattan’)
