The company was formed by a coalition of the three major Manhattan and Brooklyn streetcar operators - New York Railways , the Third Avenue Railway , and Brooklyn Rapid Transit - in competition with the Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line . The B&NR was operated with Third Avenue cars. The two companies shared trackage on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. The B&NR originally operated on the west side of the lower deck, now used by subway trains between the BMT Broadway Line and DeKalb Avenue station. When the four tracks on the upper level were completed, the B&NR switched to the two western ones; the Three Cent Line used the eastern pair.The Municipal Engineers of the City of New York, Proceedings , 1914, page 420 Due to BRT Rapid Transit operations across the bridge, the B&NR stopped operating by 1919.
