Questionable station opening and closing dates
For a long time, I've found the opening and closing dates of the stations listed in this article very difficult to believe. The main issue has been various stations between Nostrand Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue. The 1912 BRT Map and 1924 BMT map indicate Troy Avenue replaced the Albany and Sumner Avenue stations, and Hinsdale Street replaced the Eastern Parkway station. Those BRT and BMT maps also don't show any evidence of Troy Avenue station before the 1924 map, but I found some Brooklyn Daily Eagle articles showing a Troy Avenue station going as far back as at least 1889. I also realize that the Dual Contracts added that third track during the 1910s, which evidently had an impact on some of the stations mentioned. The only question here is, when was that project completed? Then, there's the issue of Clark and Tillary Street stations; As mentioned in the Western Electric reference, BRT was asking the New York Public Service Commission to let them close these and four other stations, but only ended up closing these two. Again the question is of when. Did they close it in 1901, when the BRT filed that request, or was it next year or the year after that? -User:DanTD (talk) 14:37, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I have started working on fixing this problem, and have fixed some dates, and I have narrowed down the time frames for others. While some dates are incorrect here, this bulletin.pdf Article in the ERA Bulletin provides a general framework for the openings and closings. Thanks again for your great work on the old elevated lines in the city. This project has neglected them, and you have helped gradually improve the articles.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 18:32, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and I do what I can, when I can. But if you're going to credit anyone, credit User:Epicgenius. He was the one who found that reflink published by J.B. Lyons Company, and used it for the two former BMT Culver Line stations before I could add the images. I just read the thing and found the opening and closing date of Eastern Parkway and Hinsdale Street stations, at least. I should probably look at that for others. -User:DanTD (talk) 01:29, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
