The Brooklyn City Railroad Company trolley marked for Nostrand Av. has a destination tag
above the head lamp for Bergen Beach.
This helps date the photograph:
'In March 1902, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company offered to buy the Bergen Beach resort,
but could not meet Williams's price.
Separately, the frequency of trolley service was reduced since the Flatbush Avenue tracks had been damaged by a storm that winter.
In April of that month, Williams announced that the resort would not open unless the BRT repaired the trolley tracks to Bergen Beach.
Later the trolley service improved, since Bergen Beach was a good source of fares. In the summer of 1903 the casino staged
The Girl in Black, a popular musical-and-comedy show that ran for the whole season.
The resort suffered $25,000 in damages (equivalent to $70,000 in 2018) due to a fire in 1904,
but The New York Times reported that "the tide in Jamaica Bay and two Brooklyn Rapid Transit trolley cars" brought the water that ultimately saved the park from burning down.
The Percy Williams Amusement Park opened the next year at the Bergen Beach resort.
This became one of several amusement districts in the New York City area,
competing with similar resorts in Canarsie;
Coney Island; Rockaway Beach, Queens; and Staten Island.

How the common folk got home after Vanderbilt Cup Race of 1908
Beginning at midnight before the 1908 race, special hourly trains on the Long Island Railroad
would bring the crowd to the Hempstead Plains train stop.
Here we see everyone trying to catch a single train to go back to 'da city.'
