of the system's franchised lines, totalling about 100 miles (160 km), were built: Fifth Avenue Line, Sunset Park to Fort Hamilton 86th Street Line, Bay Ridge to Bath Beach (connecting there with the Brooklyn, Bath and West End Railroad (West End Line) to Coney Island) Marcy Avenue Line and Ocean Avenue Line, Williamsburg to Sheepshead Bay Wilson Avenue Line and Rockaway Parkway Line, Williamsburg to Canarsie Landing St. Johns Place Line and Liberty Avenue Line, Crown Heights to City Line Church Avenue Line and New Lots Avenue Line, 39th Street Ferry (Sunset Park) to New Lots Flynn incorporated the East River and Atlantic Ocean Railroad on November 16, 1895 to gain access to the Brooklyn Bridge, Long Island City, and other places. However, the Nassau leased the Atlantic Avenue Railroad on April 4, 1896, thus gaining Fifth Avenue and other streets north to the bridge, a lease on the Brooklyn, Bath and West End Railroad (West End Line), and several other lines, and the ER&A was no longer necessary. The Canarsie Depot, at the intersection of Hegeman Avenue (Church Avenue and New Lots Avenue Lines) and Rockaway Avenue (Wilson Avenue Line), stored cars. The depot existed from 1895 to 1951 and is now the site of the Butcher houses.
