The branch on Canal Street to Broadway was open by March 26, 1853: [1]

  • "Two elegant new cars have been placed on the Broadway branch of the Sixth-Avenue Railroad. They are superior specimens of workmanship, and so easy that a carriage would scarcely be more thoroughly comfortable. Spring seats, lined roof, earved work about the windows, and a general neatness of finish, are peculiar improvements. The Broadway and Canal-street branch of this road is doing a good business, and is popular."
