Originally a streetcar line, it is now the B38 DeKalb/Lafayette Avenues bus route, operated by the New York City Transit Authority.

A branch runs northeast on Stanhope Street to Linden Hill Cemetery.

The company laid a single track plus a "siding", but used both for revenue service, rerouting all trains in both directions to the new route in August 1869.

[27][28][29] The Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad leased BC&N on December 1, 1897[30][31] and this became an important CI&B branchline.

[32]: 182  The DeKalb Avenue and North Beach Railroad (also leased to the Coney Island and Brooklyn) built the branch on Stanhope Street.

On January 6, 2019, the B38 became fully assigned to the Grand Avenue Depot since the route was planned to be converted to using articulated buses, which was announced by the MTA in July 2019.

[37][38][39] On December 1, 2022, the MTA released a draft redesign of the Brooklyn bus network.

[40][41] As part of the redesign, all B38 buses would operate to Catalpa Avenue at all times, and the Metropolitan Avenue/Linden Hill Cemetery branch would be discontinued.
