From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Greenpoint Line was a streetcar line in Brooklyn, New York City, United States. When it stopped operating in 1942, it was not replaced by a bus route.

History

The line was opened by the Brooklyn City Railroad in October 1854 to Bushwick Creek.[1] The line ceased operations on August 17, 1942. Parallel service was provided by the Crosstown Line, now the B62 bus route.[2]
