The East New York Loop was a short rapid transit structure in the
Broadway Junction
.
History
The
electrified loop opened on August 8, 1900, and immediately received complaints because of a forced transfer at the loop to shuttle trains or surface cars to continue beyond East New York during off-peak hours.[4] The new service pattern was blamed for poor school attendance.[5] The old pattern was finally restored in late 1903 or early 1904.[citation needed
