Milium hi ttr the first elevated train crossed the fcrldge, there were thousands who actually believed that the bridge would collapse under the new burden.

Sixty years ago, May 24, 1883, when the bridge was llrst opened, driven of carriages were warned not to run their horses and when some nitwit yelled "the bridge is falling," scores were Injured and some died In the melee which followed.

But train passengers reach the new station at Myrtle and Jay St. after noon today they will be transferred free of charge to one of these lines if they wish to go to Parle Row.

Before Summer Is over the elevated tracks will be removed and the trolley tracks laid upon that roadbed. This will free the outside roadways of tracks and open them entirely to auto travel to and from Manhattan. The entire terminal at Park Row will be abolished and the elevated structure between Myrtle and Jay and the bridge will be taken down.

It was so bad, particularly when sudden rain drove trolley customers to the better protected trains, that sometimes there were casualties.

A Those locomotives will never die in the memory of the old generations. They csused all sorts of complications.

They belched soft coal smoke upon the family washlines; they occasionally 6et fire to the Lexington, Myrtle and 5th Ave. structures, and not Infrequently lost their steam when they tried to mount from the surface to the elevated at the Parle Place station of the Brighton Line. They'd roll back, waiting for extra steam to rise. Then with pistonheads steaming and the passengers cheering, the dummy would try It again and generally make the grade on this second effort. It will cost the city about to bring about the improvement of the bridge and Its approach.

Cable cars ran across the Brooklyn Bridge within a few months of Its opening in the Spring of 1883.

Trolleys finally crowded off the cable cars, and then the elevated, after It had been electrified, taxed still further the sturdy back of the grand old span. The dummy locomotives, which used to make a round trip on a pall of coal and a few gallons of water back In the '70's, never did get upon the bridge. The nearest they ever got was to pushing cable cars which became atalled on the cabled runways. Aleutians Theme Of Father Hubbard The Rev. Bernard R.
