Posted by Mellow One on Mon Jan 10 11:34:27 2011 From the George Conrad Collection at www.nycsubway.org Brooklyn, 3rd Ave El 65th Station, Trolley and Tunnel,1915 Would anyone like to comment on the historical aspects of this image? There are several items of interest here. Since the trolley car is up on the El structure, the El is no longer using the incline to run on the surface tracks. There is a trolley ramp from the street to tunnel tracks that appears to be under construction. The tunnel track on the left has a wood trestle heading South. There are trolleys on 65th St East of 3rd Ave. One of the items that has intrigued me is the building on the right, which was a NY & Hempstead RR Station brfore the turn of the century.  Were the tracks for this station at 3rd Ave surface level back then? There appears to be another elevated structure in the distance. What else strikes your inquisitive nature about ths image? |
