In 1912, the Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line and Brooklyn and North River Railroad, two streetcar companies, began operations on those tracks until the BRT (later BMT), which also had two tracks each over the Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges, trackage was connected to the bridge in 1915 and the trolleys were moved to the upper level roadways until 1929, when service was discontinued.
В 1912 году несколько компаний (Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line и Brooklyn and North River Railroad, а также две трамвайные компании) начали строительство этих сообщений до прихода компании BRT (позже BMT), которая также имела по две железнодорожные линии на Бруклинском и Вильямсбургском мостах.
