Obviously, your Time Line Map is a labor of Love of Rapid Transit History. There were many significant extensions and expansions of Rapid Transit Service in Manhattan almost every year from 1875 on through the turn of the century and up until the end of the Dual Contracts Era in 1920. The last Expansion of the Manhattan El System was the Webster Ave extension of the 3rd Ave El, which opened in 1920. You faithfully detailed that occurance in your map. The 3rd Ave El GCT Shuttle, which was the original end of the line in 1878, lasted until 1922.Perhaps, in the future, you may include hotspots on you map that would link to images and/or expanded text that depicts or describes the events that occurred at a given location. I am attempting to link my image libraries to my Time Traveling Web sites for the Manhattan Els. I am still loading images and writing associated text. I worked on the Bergen Cutoff last night. I only saw the unused structure once from the 3rd Ave El 149th St Station before the cutoff structure was removed. See "https://picasaweb.google.com/116363262722377355677/NYC2ndAveEl#5654544224206745410". On the Brooklyn side, I consentrate my efforts on documenting the Early (pre Dual Contract) El routes. See "http://mellowone.webs.com/earlybrooklynelroutes.htm". I was not able to venture out to New Jersey on my own until the late 50's. So, that was too late to see anything but the Newark Subway and trolley line. Later, in early 60s, the late Roger Arcara and I walked across the bridge that was the original H&M ROW to the Park Place terminal. I can not remember what happened to the pix from that trip. Of course, a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. I came across this image, which is a memorial to my mother, who worked in that building during WWII before I was born. Thank you for your efforts and all the best to you, |
