Brooklyn Union Gate Cars

[chuchubob]

Subdivision C operated charter trips using BU Gate Cars this weekend, and will repeat next weekend.

Brooklyn Union Railroad Co was a subsidiary of Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and was merged into BRT around 1913. The BU Gate Cars are wooden elevated trains.

These photos were taken in Queens:

I too took a bunch of photos from all 4 BU car fantrips. I only own a 3.2 megapixel camera, but some of them came out very well. Enjoy! :D
