Posted: Sat May 12, 2007 3:12 pm Post subject: History of the Brooklyn route numbers |
|
|
Other than the list at http://www.thejoekorner.com/lines/bklyntrolleys.htm , I haven't seen much about the early numbers for Brooklyn streetcar lines, most of which simply had a B appended. They probably adopted them in the 1920s or early 1930s; does anyone have a map from that time that lists the numbers? Thank you. |
