I've been trying to find out the track layout for the Franklin Ave station on the BMT Fulton St elevated. I'm old enough to remember the 2 track station where today's Shuttle ended at Fulton St. Heck, in the summertime the train went to Coney Island on the weekends. However before the the el was torn down there was a connection at the el station where trains from Park Row or Fulton Ferry would enter the Brighton line after leaving the Franklin Ave station(read the Malbone St wreck stories).This would eliminate the shuttle station of my youth, or today's station, as the tracks on this newer one never reached Fulton St. The station and tracks I picture would have to have been located before today's station location, on Fulton Street closer to Downtown Brooklyn, with a layout similar to the Broadway/Myrtle track connection. Any pics, ideas, or anecdotes welcome.
