	BMT Culver Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The BMT Culver Line is a rapid transit line of the BMT division of the New York City Subway, running from Coney Island through Gravesend to Ditmas Avenue, where it becomes the IND Culver Line.
		Culver Line was originally the popular name of the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad (owned by Andrew Culver), an excursion railroad line originally opened from a station at the eastern side of Greenwood Cemetery to Coney Island in Kings County, New York (now Brooklyn, New York) in 1875.
		The branch to the BMT Fifth Avenue Line was elevated in 1919.

	Culver Line Memories by Karl Bernstein -- MyRecollection.com
		In 1940 the City of New York took over the line and abandoned the Culver's elevated access to downtown Brooklyn, but the dual subway-elevated train service continued in truncated fashion, before a new connection brought IND subway service from the Bronx and ended the unusual operation.
		I, on the other hand, preferred the Culver because it was just more "interesting." When I was in the 6th grade in 1946, I was allowed to travel to downtown Brooklyn myself to the Brooklyn Music School on St. Felix Street so, of course, I took the Culver whenever I could.
		Culver local service always consisted of 3 car trains so that you had to wait towards the center of the platform.

	Abandoned Stations : 9 Ave lower level
		The new Culver line did not open until March 1919, so for almost three years, 5 Ave El trains ran off the el, through the modern junction and underground station, and then into the old surface level railroad, past the ramp being built to the new elevated Culver line.
		BMT Culver service from a single track terminal at Ditmas Ave continued as before on weekdays, but nights and weekends it was a shuttle to 36 St. Ridership dropped, and in May 1959, it was made a shuttle full time, between Ditmas Ave and 9 Ave only.
		Shown as three dotted lines is where the line once continued to the elevated Culver line.

	The Third Rail - BMT Culver Shuttle Closes
		Culver Locals continued to operate between Ditmas Avenue and Chambers Street under the Municipal Building in Manhattan during midday hours on weekdays, and Culver Expresses made their fast rush hour run from Ditmas Avenue through the Nassau Street loop in the financial district and back to Brooklyn.
		As a kind of small, final insult, the line's third rail was laid bare to the elements, never having received the wood covers installed everywhere else in the city.
		Culver Shuttles often ran empty during the small hours of the morning.

	The Last Run Near For Culver Shuttle
		The Culver Line shuttle in Brooklyn, last remaining section of one of the oldest mass transit lines in the city, will shut down as of May 11, a letter to the Board of Estimate from the Transit Authority revealed yesterday.
		David L. Yunich, chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the city's mass transit lines, said the halt in service is necessary because of declining number of riders and the need to rehabilitate the line at an estimated cost of $1 million.
		Erected in 1918 as the last segment in the Prospect Park-Coney Island Railroad begun before the turn of the century, the Culver Line was reduced to a shuttle service between Ninth Ave.

	The New BMT Coney Island Terminal by Paul Matus - The Third Rail - 5/03 - Page 6
		During the '90s, the Transit Authority, now known as New York City Transit, assessed the state of its system with the mandate of bringing the system up to "a state of good repair." Upon examining the condition of Stillwell, it was decided that nothing short of a major rebuild of the 80-year terminal would do.
		On that day, for the first time since the Brighton Line entered Culver Depot in 1903, each of the four Coney Island-bound rapid transit lines ended their runs at a different terminal.
		The Brighton Line now ends its run at Brighton Beach, as in days of old, and the Culver Line doesn't make it to the beach, ending at Avenue X station.

	Abandoned Stations : Bergen St lower level
		Once it was extended to the former BMT Culver line in 1954, it was known for a time as the Coney Island line.
		Once the line went all the way to Coney Island, it would probably have been time to apply the Queens Boulevard model to avoid a long local run, but it was not done, whether because of light traffic or entrenched passenger and operating expectations, it is hard to say.
		This map did not use dashed lines to indicate parttime service, and its use of boldface instead of red to indicate express stations (by the same definition) is even more subtle.
