Bay Ridge Branch

[Statkowski]

Would appreciate it if someone could enter the station listing (including milepost locations, interlocking towers & names) for the Bay Ridge Branch, Bay Ridge to Fremont, circa 1960 (or earlier) from an LIRR ETT.

[Dave Keller]

Its a short list if you want something around 1960!

This is from the LIRR Employee timetable #6, effective 6/21/59:

Mileage is from FREMONT tower:

FREMONT (Interlocking tower and block station) 0.0 miles
New Lots Crossover 4.3 miles
NU (Block LImit Station) 8.8 miles
Bay Ridge 11.5 miles

If you want something showing more than that you will have to go back a lot further in years.

Passenger service ended along the branch in 1924 when passenger service to Manhattan Beach ceased.

If you're interested, let me and know and I'll dig further back for more data.

Not quite as short as the entry in the New Haven ETT dated October 27, 1963, to wit:

0.00 S.S. 3
8.06 Fremont
19.59 Bay Ridge

Thanks for the info.

[Dave Keller]

Your welcome.

And Wow!

That was a short list!
