You may have missed them since he uploaded them to the world.nycsubway.org page. My favorites:




System: Brooklyn & Queens Transit
Car: B&QT/BMT 8460
Collection of: George Conrad Collection
Notes: Metropolitan & 125th - LIRR Parkside Sta. 1944



System: Brooklyn & Queens Transit
Car: B&QT/BMT 8506
Collection of: George Conrad Collection
Notes: Williamsburg Bridge Plaza 1938



System: Brooklyn & Queens Transit
Car: B&QT/BMT
Collection of: George Conrad Collection
Notes: Coney Island & Surf Ave - Luna Park



System: Brooklyn & Queens Transit
Car: B&QT/BMT
Collection of: George Conrad Collection
Notes: Trolley ramp to el at 67th St-Bay Ridge, 1901



System: Brooklyn & Queens Transit
Car: B&QT/BMT 8050
Collection of: George Conrad Collection
Notes: West 15th St-Nortons Point line circa 1946

Private ROW? Can't find even a trace of this today:



System: Brooklyn & Queens Transit
Car: B&QT/BMT 8195
Collection of: George Conrad Collection
Notes: 83rd St PRW - West End Line 1940



System: Brooklyn & Queens Transit
Car: B&QT/BMT 8284
Collection of: George Conrad Collection
Date: 3/9/1940
Notes: 83rd St PRW - West end line

This one is surely mislocated. It's not Metro/Jamaica, that's for sure. Anyone wanna take a shot?



System: Brooklyn & Queens Transit
Car: B&QT/BMT 8428
Collection of: George Conrad Collection
Notes: Metropolitan & Jamaica ???

I was thinking that it was Bushwick Ave as well, but I can't see the other "el" track rising in the background.

Did anyone notice that the "N" on the Sumner - Sackett car rollsign is backwards?

Not only is the location wrong but the car number is also mislabeled.

That third pic is a good illustration showing the location of the original Luna Park compared to something that's still operating at Coney Island (i.e. the Cyclone).

The private right of way at 83rd street is still there, or at least visible on Google maps...

Thanks. I would never have recognized it. So it ran parallel to 18th Ave?
