In Brighton the R&E began operating on its own right of way. It ran along the side of
Monroe Avenue from Highland Avenue to Monroe Parkway. There it swung east to go over
the Erie Canal. After crossing the canal it angled back towards Monroe Avenue and
resumed roadside running after crossing Allens Creek Road and continued to the town
line just past Clover Street. After the Rochester Subway was built the R&E connected with
it at Rowlands and no longer operated along Monroe Avenue between Monroe Parkway and
Highland Avenue.
