Ocean Avenue - Brooklyn College - Manhattan Beach Junction
When these lines were first built in the 1870s, this intersection of with
Ocean Avenue just to the southwest of Brooklyn College was Manhattan Beach
Junction - where the Manhattan Beach line south to Coney Island separated from
the main Bay Ridge Line. Because the Manhattan Beach Line was, effectively,
a spur south off the Bay Ridge Line, termination of passenger service on the Bay Ridge
Line in 1924 also terminated service on the Manhattan Beach Line. Freight
service continued on the Manhattan Beach Line continued until it was taken
up in 1937 and the right-of-way was relinquished.
