  BMT Sea Beach Line
The Sea Beach Line began service on July 18th, 1877 as a steam railroad called the New York and Sea Beach between the 64th Street pier and Bath junction (approximately where 62nd Street and New Utrecht Avenue intersect today).
In 1913, the junction with the West End Line at Bath Junction was broken, because the new Sea Beach line under construction passed directly underneath.
The Sea Beach stations are overly long for a BMT line.

  BMT Sea Beach Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BMT Sea Beach Line is a rapid transit line of the BMT division of the New York City Subway, connecting the BMT Fourth Avenue Line subway via a four-track wide open cut to Coney Island in Brooklyn.
The modern line begins as a split from the BMT Fourth Avenue Line at a flying junction immediately south of 59th Street.
When the BMT Fourth Avenue Line was extended south from the Sea Beach Line on January 15, 1916, the Sea Beach trains were shifted to the express tracks on Fourth Avenue, with Fourth Avenue trains providing local service.

 Subway History FAQ - BMT Sea Beach Express Tracks
Every single one of the modern subway lines that terminate at Coney Island Brighton (Q), Culver (F), Sea Beach (N) and West End (W) [2003 letter usage] was built primarily to carry resort goers and day-trippers from the hot city to the breezes and amusements of the shore in the era before air conditioning.
By the time the Sea Beach Line was reopened as a grade separated subway line in 1915 southern Brooklyn was becoming densely populated.
The IRT subway line veered away from Coney Island before reaching Prospect Park in the middle of the borough and the Manhattan elevated lines didn't enter Brooklyn at all.

 Q Train
From the Broadway Line, traveling down, the track that currently depressed down and joins back up for either bypass or regular DeKalb switching was actually the original track and not depressed, while the track to the right which is used by the Q train was where the platform was located.
This line (under LIRR control) had a separate ROW that ran south of this station, to Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach (in it’s heyday in the early 1900’s there was a racetrack in Manhattan Beach.) Because of the high corrugated fencing, I was unable to see any traces of the turn off from the ROW.
The line was 2 tracks running alongside the east side (Manhattan-bound side of today’s Brighton Line), and was partially lower in height than the elevation of the Brighton Line.

 The Third Rail - Back to the Future - page 3
By the late 1920s, with the BMT and IRT systems mostly in place, the IND system being built and additional private streetcar and bus lines blanketing its streets, New York City was the center of mass transit in the U.S., as it still is today.
The IRT’s solution was a non-solution: its own subway lines and the elevated lines it leased from the Manhattan Railways were virtually separate systems, with some interoperation at the far reaches of the system in the Bronx and Queens.
The BMT not only had a large elevated system, but one which was much more tightly integrated with its subway system.

 The New BMT Coney Island Terminal by Paul Matus - The Third Rail - May 2003
The West End Line enabled the first all-rail trip from Brooklyn City, which then encompassed only the portion of the modern borough closest to New York across the East River, by connecting to horse cars at the City Line at 25th Street and 5th Avenue.
This was not an ideal journey, and in the late 1870s there was a veritable boom of steam railways, each seeking another way to bring beachgoers to the sea and relieve them of a portion of their funds in ticket sales before it was all spent on refreshments, hotel rooms and Three-Card Monte dealers.
They were the New York and Sea Beach Railway (the Sea Beach Line), Andrew Culver's Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad (the Culver Line), and the Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island Railway (the Brighton Beach Line).

 BMT History
What came to be known as the BMT began in the late 1800's as a series of separate and independent steam railroads, surface, and elevated lines in Brooklyn.
In exchange the city retained ownership and the right to re-capture while it leased the lines to the companies for operation (term of lease 49 years with the city having the right to re-capture lines after 10 years).
