Lead

[edit]
  • The B54 is a bus route that constitutes a surface transit line on Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, New York City, United States. -- redundant, I think
  • The B54 replaced the Myrtle Avenue Line; it was the first streetcar line in Brooklyn, built by the Brooklyn City Railroad and opened in 1854. -- ce

  • It is distinct from the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line, a separate subway line that also operates along the portion of Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and used to run above the entire Brooklyn section of Myrtle Avenue. -- this sentence needs to be clarified; the subway line used to run above the Brooklyn section?
    • The subway line did used to extend over the Brooklyn section. What about the sentence makes it unclear?--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:54, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Truflip99: Sorry, this might have been confusion on my part. Myrtle Avenue passes through both Brooklyn and Queens. The elevated line only ran over the Brooklyn section when it was completed, and a small remnant of the elevated line still exists above Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn. In addition, the Myrtle Avenue travels over other streets in Queens. epicgenius (talk) 20:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Both: Sorry, I should have been more specific as well. If I'm understanding correctly, something like this would be a good ce: It is distinct from the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line, a separate subway line that also operates along the portion of Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn; it this used to run on elevated tracks above the entire Brooklyn section of Myrtle Avenue. --Truflip99 (talk) 20:30, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Horsecar service

More in a bit. --Truflip99 (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Horsecar service cont.

[edit]

Trolley service

[edit]
  • Myrtle Avenue horse cars were replaced with electric trolleys in mid-1893. -- just saying July 1893 or summer
  • Space after the first sentence
  • The trolley line was one of four extended over the Brooklyn Bridge to Park Row in Lower Manhattan on February 15, 1898; they were preceded only by the Graham Avenue Line trolley service. -- ce; also extended by whomst?
  • Cars reached the bridge by turning from Myrtle Avenue onto Washington Street via trackage originally built for the DeKalb Avenue Line, and then turning onto Sands Street via trackage from the Graham Avenue Line to the bridge. -- ce
  • The Myrtle Avenue Line was also one of the seven moved to the new structure through the Sands Street elevated station, on the Brooklyn side of the bridge, on September 28, 1908; cars returned to the old route along Myrtle Avenue and Fulton Street to the split for the new structure at Tillary Street. -- sorry, I'm not following this at all. Seven what? What new structure?
  • The Myrtle-Culver Line was a summer-only service connecting Ridgewood with Coney Island. -- this sentence is abrupt, comes out of nowhere. Are you trying to say during the summer, a line called Myrtle-Culver Line served a route between Ridegwood and Coney Island?
  • ref 12 (Brian J. Cudahy): is a duplicate of ref 5. Merge them and use rp template for page numbers
  • After this elevated structure was removed in 1944... -- what elevated structure? this was not established
  • ref 14 (Electric Railroaders' Association, Headlights): convert to template
  • The Myrtle Avenue Line was combined with the Court Street Line... -- "The" should be lower case
  • In February 1944, service was rerouted via Navy Street, Ashland Place and Willoughby Street instead of Jay Street and Adams Street. On July 27, 1944, service was rerouted in both directions via Adams Street between Willoughby Street and Myrtle Avenue. -- why?

Bus service

[edit]

More later. --Truflip99 (talk) 04:06, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please ensure you are addressing all of the items above. There are some that were missed; most of them refs. --Truflip99 (talk) 15:02, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Final sweep

[edit]

I did a fairly substantial copy edit of the lead. Feel free to revert/modify it.

I think we're good after this. --Truflip99 (talk) 03:39, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Truflip99: Due to the Jewish holiday of Passover and the Sabbath on Saturday, I won't be editing from tonight until Saturday night at the earliest. I wanted to let you know to make sure that you know that I am still committed to addressing the aforementioned issues.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:49, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Take care! --Truflip99 (talk) 21:52, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do you have any start and end dates for the summer-only service? I'm under the impression that it no longer runs.
  • Omit the cash and fare parameters in the infobox as they are not valid
  • You also have more pictures here. Try to use some of them.

I tried looking for more information on the Myrtle–Culver Line myself but there just really isn't any information apart from an almanac and the brochure that's referenced. Everything else checks out. Passing GA. --Truflip99 (talk) 21:51, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Truflip99: Thank you for your patience and your thorough review. When I am not swamped with school work and so many GA Noms, I will make sure to review more of your articles.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 23:18, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
