In the aftermath of the Conrail merger New Jersey allowed several former CNJ lines shed by Conrail to be abandoned, most notably much of its four-track main line east of Aldene, NJ ( as part of the Aldene Plan starting in 1967 ) and the impressive Newark Bay Bridge, spanning from Elizabethport to Bayone, which was removed in the early 1980s.

Passenger service along the line ended in 1967 with the advent of the Aldene Plan when the Bay Head trains ( the line's only remaining commuter service ) were moved to Newark Penn Station.

At the end of April 1967 the Aldene Connection opened to the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and trains were re-routed to Newark Penn Station on the Northeast Corridor via Hunter Connection.

These stations have closed since the Aldene Plan was implemented in 1967.

Opening day for the Aldene Plan was announced for Monday, May 1, 1967 but a full-service rehearsal occurred the day prior ( a Sunday to avoid the commuter rush ).

While at Chess, Riperton also sang lead for the experimental rock / soul group Rotary Connection, from 1967 to 1971.

Noteworthy police detective dramas of the period include The French film The Sleeping Car Murders ( 1965 ), In the Heat of the Night ( winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture in 1967 ), Bullitt, Madigan ( both 1968 ), Klute ( 1971 ), Electra Glide in Blue ( 1973 ), and two non-mysteries: Dirty Harry, and The French Connection ( both from 1971 ).

On November 26, 1967, with the opening of the Chrystie Street Connection, the BMT Eastern District lines were given letters ; the 16 became the LL.

With the opening of the Chrystie Street Connection in late 1967, the B train from Manhattan and the Bronx was extended to Coney Island, absorbing the T and TT ( both ran express on Fourth Avenue ).

The EE was created on November 26, 1967, when the Chrystie Street Connection opened and the RR moved back to Astoria.

* 1967: Rotary Connection U. S. No. 37

The SS label was first applied in 1967, when all services were labeled due to the completion of the Chrystie Street Connection.

On November 27, 1967, the day after the IND Chrystie Street Connection opened, the RR was moved back to Astoria – Ditmars Boulevard on the BMT Astoria Line.

The Broadway Line was the only Manhattan outlet north of Delancey Street for the BMT's Brooklyn lines until 1967, when most BMT Brighton Line and BMT West End Line trains were moved to the IND Sixth Avenue Line via the new Chrystie Street Connection.

At most times, the Broadway Line has had four services — two local and two express — during the day, with a third express service until the 1967 opening of the Chrystie Street Connection.

With the opening of the Chrystie Street Connection in 1967, the short-turn local was sent through the connection to Brooklyn ( as the KK during rush hours and the B at other times ), a new express service via the connection ( D ) was added, and the rush-hour BB was re-designated B and extended via the express tracks and connection to Brooklyn.

In 1951 a half-billion dollar bond issue was passed to build the Second Avenue Subway, but money from this issue was used for other priorities and the building of short connector lines, namely a ramp extending the IND Culver Line over the ex-BMT Culver Line at Ditmas and McDonald Avenues in Brooklyn ( 1954 ), allowing IND subway service to operate to Coney Island for the first time, the 60th Street Tunnel Connection ( 1955 ), linking the BMT Broadway Line to the IND Queens Boulevard Line, and the Chrystie Street Connection ( 1967 ), linking the BMT line via the Manhattan Bridge to the IND Sixth Avenue Line.

On November 26, 1967, the Chrystie Street Connection opened, adding express service on the Sixth Avenue Line and connecting it with the Manhattan Bridge.

This service was only provided from November 27, 1967 ( when the Chrystie Street Connection opened ) to April 12, 1968 due to low ridership.
