Newark City Subway
Branch Brook Park

Branch Brook Park

Branch Brook Park Station was originally called Franklin Ave and the northern end of the City Subway. During the "Franklin Ave" time period, PCC's turned around using a tight loop. As part of the conversion to LRV's, the station was made into two tracks with a pocket track to turn trains. Also, the nearby Heller Pkwy station was closed.
