Franklin Avenue Shuttle above Dean Street

[BrooklynEagle]

BROOKLYN FOREVER, BABY!!!!! I love my fuckin' borough! (Even though the yup-pups--late-90's/early-2000­'s yuppies--have gentrified pretty much most of the southwest portion of Kings County into what it is now.) Riding the S today may not be as exciting as it was 20-25 years ago, but I am glad it's still around. So much Brooklyn rail history associated with that line (Malbone Street, 1918; Fulton EL connection; etc.) It's kinda fun telling these "swag" kiddies about riding the "S" 2 decades ago.

Man, that track is long.

Cool! Last I had read a while back, this shuttle was slated to be retired and the El structure torn down. Glad to see it's still in service.

Man, I miss Dean Street! What a junky station! Hell, the whole Shuttle line up until the renovations of the late-90's! But I still loved it! Those crusty-ass wooden platforms (the way they would rumble when the S was coming!), the busted lights, Botanic Garden! Lol! I really loved it. And I really, REALLY miss it. Riding the S today is like riding the LIRR out on the island. It's nice, but there's no excitement anymore.

i tried to fix that

[Maserati7200]

hahaha

[Spitfire995]

they should at least put the R32s on the shuttle. i would really be happy to see that happen

[thesubwaynut]

the franklin avenue shuttle used to have R32s

[subwayguy321]

Oh ok

[blackcrappy]

Man that Dean Street station used to be grimy! Matter of fact, so was Park Place and Franklin Ave. Crackheads always trying to sell you a transfer. White folks don't play when they move in.

[thesubwaynut]

[subwayguy321]

Wow that train was short.

[GunShade]
