Burying of line under Atlantic Avenue

For several decades the line ran on the surface of the street of Atlantic Avenue.

The majority of the length of the line was buried under Atlantic Avenue. When was the line buried under the Avenue??? Dogru144 05:05, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Part of http://arrts-arrchives.com/custom2.html suggests that part of the line was put under, in a tunnel, as late as the early 1940s. Dogru144 05:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

That was the Atlantic Branch, technically owned by the Atlantic Avenue Railroad (and its successors) but leased to the LIRR since 1877. It was grade separated west of East New York ca. 1904 and east of East New York ca. 1940; in between there was an elevated section east of East New York, including a station at Warwick Street.

I need to rewrite this article; when I wrote it I hadn't done nearly the studying I've done since. --NE2 06:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Possible redirection

Is this line the same as the Atlantic Avenue rapid transit? If so, why hasn't anybody redirected the redlink to it yet? ----DanTD (talk) 16:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
