Posted by Q65A on Tue Nov 12 17:42:37 2024 Just saw this B&W video dated 1955 on YouTube; it is silent and has no captions but the footage is pretty cool (including scenes at Bway. Jct. and E 105 St. grade crossing):1955 NYCTS Video |

Although the video is dated 1955 on Youtube, it appears that some of the scenes were done much earlier. The Lex Ave el which closed in 1950 is still visible in one of the Myrtle scenes although disconnected from the Myrtle. The Grand Ave station which closed not too long after that is still in service in that scene. The absence of any R-16s on the Jamaica Line also seems to indicate that those scenes were shot before 1955 as well. Some of the Fulton St el scenes also seem to have been shot on a weekend when the Fulton El trains terminated at E/Pky although there are also scenes of the Fulton St el trains operating in and out of Rockaway Ave which was the M - F service pattern. |
