West End Line (elevated) : ウィキペディア英語版 | BMT West End Line
The BMT West End Line is a line of the New York City Subway, serving the Brooklyn communities of Borough Park, New Utrecht, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach and Coney Island. The train operates local on the entire line at all times. Although there is a center express track and three express stations along the line, there is no regular express service at this time. The elevated line, originally mapped as the New Utrecht Avenue Line (though the common name prevailed after construction), replaced the surface West End Line. ==History== The line was originally a surface railway to Coney Island, called the Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Railroad.〔Opening of the Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Railroad, New York Times June 9, 1864 page 2〕 Under the Dual Contracts of 1913, an elevated line was built over New Utrecht Avenue, 86th Street and Stillwell Avenue, opening to 62nd Street on June 25, 1916, and fully opening to Coney Island on July 21, 1917. The original surface right-of-way was retained for use by trolley cars to provide local service and protect the company's franchise.
