Brooklyn Heights Railroad
The Brooklyn Heights Railroad was a street railway company in the U.S. state of New York.[1] It leased and operated the streetcar lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, but started out with the Montague Street Line, a short cable car line connecting the Wall Street Ferry with downtown Brooklyn along Montague Street. Eliphalet Williams Bliss owned the railroad.[2]
