   I certainly remember that trolley line which we took to Canarsie Pier   
   to go fishing when I was an early teen.  I never caught anything, but   
   my mom's Uncle Jake ran a charter boat so he would give us a fish or   
   two to take home.  When the Pier closed, he moved to Sheepshead Bay.   
   Long since gone.   
      
   The Canarsie Line ran BMT Standards, of course.
