@Cecropia: Thanks for fixing the opening date in this edit. Could you possibly add the citations for this earlier opening date, even if the newspapers aren't online? Thanks. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:48, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kew Gardens 613: Hi, KG. Thanks for asking, even though it made me get off my lazy ass and do more research (which is not a bad thing). The first mention I could find of Homecrest (Avenue U) Station as a station is the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of 22 Aug 1902, so c.1902. But the lazier development went like this: (1) we know that 1908 is wrong because that is the station on the new embankment; (2) we knew there was the surface station at the beginning of 1906 (which was when shoo-fly construction began, because the BGCEG took a picture of it (B148), so we can accurately say "before 1906"; most of the current stations of the surface line were open by 1902, so 1902 was an educated guess, and it happens to be the right on.
