Thanks, It was strange that the BRT/BMT had all the East River Bridge crossings except for the Queensboro, which only lasted about 25 years from 1917 until the IRT 2nd Ave El ended operations in 1942 and the El trackways sat unused for 10 years after the bridge was completed.It was also strange that the Manhattan Bridge trolley line was built (seemingly) as a failure. It seemed to me that the 3rd Ave El could have provided an El Shuttle (from Canal St) over the bridge instead of the trolley, which may have made a possible worthwhile venture. |
