	S Franklin Avenue Shuttle (New York City Subway service) - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The mainline was shifted in 1920, and the Franklin line was reduced to a full-time shuttle in the early 1960s.
		The north terminus is called Franklin Avenue station, and is at the intersection of Franklin Avenue and Fulton Street.
		The station is called "Franklin Avenue" instead of "Fulton Street" because it was built adjacent to the Franklin Avenue station of the pre-existing Fulton Street Elevated.

	Franklin Shuttle
		What is now known as the Franklin Shuttle had its beginnings in 1877 when it was planned as just one of a group of steam railroads that connected downtown Brooklyn, or its outskirts, with the hotels and resorts at Coney Island and Manhattan and Brighton Beaches.
		The new Flatbush Avenue tunnel under Prospect Park began service in 1920, and while the connection with the Fulton Street El was severed and the el itself out of service by 1940, the line, now called the Franklin Avenue shuttle, continued to run some trains all the way to Coney Island as late as 1963.
		This view was taken from the platform at Franklin Avenue and Fulton Street, where a transfer is possible to the A and C trains.

		The north terminus is Franklin Avenue, and is at the intersection of Franklin Avenue and Fulton Street, with a transfer available to the IND Fulton Street Line.

	New York City Subway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The oldest structure still in use today (albeit reinforced) opened in 1885 as part of the Lexington Avenue Line, and is now part of the BMT Jamaica Line in Brooklyn.
		The oldest right-of-way, that of the BMT West End Line, was in use in 1863 as a steam railroad called the Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Rail Road.
		As a general rule, trains on the lines inherited from the IRT (the numbered lines) are shorter and narrower than the trains that operate on the IND/BMT lines (those designated with letters).

	The Franklin Avenue Shuttle - Wired New York Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		But if these people were to forget about Times Square and instead shuttle along Franklin Avenue for a few hours one early fall afternoon, they would experience a rare, almost educational demonstration of New York subway life in miniature, a kind of diorama, if you will.
		It is an experience not found anywhere else in the system, and certainly not on the shuttle's more famous counterpart in Times Square, which is so crowded that its riders seem to be subjects in an illegal physics experiment.
		But finally, as the shuttle approaches its other terminal at Franklin Avenue, there is the iconic view of the elevated: a peek of distant Manhattan skyline on one side.

	The Third Rail - The New Franklin Shuttle - Preface
		The open cut ran from just south of Park Place on what is now the Shuttle, to south of Church Avenue in Flatbush on what is now the Brighton (D and Q train) mainline.
		From that day the stations between Prospect Park and Franklin Avenue became a distinct line as the new Flatbush Avenue tunnel becme the main.
		As part of the building of the new main line, the original cut from Prospect Park to Church Avenue was rebuilt to four tracks, leaving only the Franklin's portion in something like its 1878 appearance.

		The Prospect Park station is newly accessible, as are the Franklin Avenue and Park Place stations on the Franklin Avenue shuttle and the Franklin Avenue station on the C line.
		So, too, is the Atlantic Avenue station providing D and Q service to Midtown Manhattan and the Pacific Street/4th Avenue station on the N and R, which can get you to several spots in Midtown, as well as a downtown location.
		Two final thoughts—New York City Transit is reconstructing the Stillwell Avenue subway station in Coney Island, so it is temporarily closed; however, at a January 21 meeting, NYCT ADA staff expressed the hope that their engineers had found a solution to the “gap” problem which they are building into this station.

		From the age of four I knew which line I was on and knew the different stops and models of cars used on each.
		Later we moved to Flatbush, on Ocean Avenue near Church, and still later to Coney Island, the headwaters of the Nile, so to speak.
