The Last Day of the Myrtle Avenue El: Photographs by Theresa King
Wednesday February 10, 2010 from 10:00am - 4:00pm
New York Transit Museum
130 Livingston St
Brooklyn, New York 11201 Get Directions
At midnight on October 3, 1969 the last train on the Myrtle Avenue El departed Borough Hall. After 80 years of service the line would be demolished. Photographer Theresa King, who rode the train daily in her childhood, spent the day documenting the trains, stations, passengers, and views from the elevated platform. Forty years later this photo essay, shot in a single day, provides a glimpse into the past and preserves a memory of growing up in Brooklyn.
