  BMT Brighton Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brighton Line is a rapid transit line of the New York City Subway in Brooklyn, New York City.
The original line was a two-tracked high-speed surface steam railroad operating from Bedford Station, at Atlantic Avenue near Franklin Avenue in the City of Brooklyn, at which point it made a physical connection to the Long Island Rail Road's Atlantic Avenue branch.
From Bedford the line ran on a surface private right-of-way several blocks south to Park Place, which it crossed at grade, and then in an open cut with street overpasses through what is now Crown Heights and Flatbush, as far as Church Lane (now Church Avenue) in the Town and Village of Flatbush.

 The Third Rail - The New Franklin Shuttle - Preface
The new Brighton Line, as it was known virtually from day one, had an important advantage over other early steam roads to Coney Island—direct land access to the heart of Brooklyn City via its connection with the LIRR.
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.
Through services were to continue in one form or another on the Brighton-Franklin Line for another four decades, but the die had been cast—the Franklin Avenue Line was now no longer the main line.
