When the BMT first opened in 1913, their only service to Manhattan was over the Williamsburgh and Manhattan Bridges. Trains came in and terminated at either Canal Street or Chambers Street, and sometimes City Hall. However, in 1931, the Montague Street Tunnel was completed under the East River, establishing a loop. The Montague Street tunnel trackage reconnected with the main line just north of the DeKalb Avenue Station. After this station, the trains split off on their respective routes - either the Sea Beach, Brighton, Culver, or West End lines to Coney Island or the 4th Avenue Local to Bay Ridge.
