The Grand Street and Newtown Railroad was a street railway company in the U.S. state of New York. The company operated two lines - the Grand Street Line from Williamsburg to Elmhurst and the Meeker Avenue Line from Williamsburg to West Maspeth.[1]
The company was chartered in 1859. The Brooklyn City Rail Road leased it on May 1, 1890.[2][3]
