JayJay. If you need some assitance with this, pm me. I want to point some things out to you, but not in the open. I actually did this route years ago and never released. And yes Joe has the data for this. I was going to do this line as well, but seeing as your working on it, I'll provide you with whatever assistance I can and any objects you may need.

JayJay, it looks great! By the way, is this the classic version or is this a modern representation of it (if it were to still exist today)?

Great job... This to me is similar to the Frankie since they discontinued service in one of the tracks... (I think)

That's correct. When Franklin Avenue was rebuilt in '98, it was built with only one track with the exception of Botanic Garden. The connection to the southbound Brighton tracks was also abandoned (mostly due to the Malbone St wreck in 1918).

Actually that connection is still in use. They will send a Franklin Shuttle to the Southbound track when something is occupying the Northbound track (ex: a work train) and for other reasons such as track work.

Yes. It starts from the 9th Avenue (lower level), and then runs elevated until it connects to Ditmas Avenue on the F. It has only four stops: 9 Avenue, Fort Hamilton Parkway, 13 Avenue, and Ditmas Avenue.
