If "by that dude in Brooklyn" you mean Bob Diamond, most of his trolleys, if not all, were moved out of Brooklyn by the time the city (aggressively IMO) shut down his streetcar project. There were reportedly two left on Beard Street Pier, but the info may be outdated; that pier got flooded during the hurricane, but I can't find any info about the trolleys.
