The Holy Cross Cemetery Line or Holy Cross Shuttle was a public transit line in Brooklyn, New York City, United States, running as a short branch of the Nostrand Avenue Line along Tilden Avenue east to Holy Cross Cemetery at Canarsie Lane.
Originally a streetcar line, it was replaced by a bus route, which is no longer operated.
[2] The original line ran along Empire Boulevard and Clove Road (now mostly gone) from Nostrand Avenue southeast to the cemetery.
[3] The New Williamsburgh and Flatbush Railroad opened the line prior to August 1, 1889, when it was leased to the Brooklyn City Rail Road.
[4][5][6] On October 4, 1892, the Town board of Flatbush denied the Brooklyn City Railroad's request to straighten the rail line and extend the route through some of the streets in the town, and the company subsequently withdrew its application.
