IND & B.M.T SUBWAY& EL lines in N.Y.C 1940's- 80's movie footage.
The upper levels of the elevated were very high. I got dizzy watching it.
from our Tompkins projects apartment we could see the trains go by, thanks for the memories, wonderful times, we got one of the spikes as a souvenir when it was demolished , 10, 15 cents a ride. the train going by made a distinct sound we kids use t mimic..
I wonder what New York City would be like if the transit authority maintained and upgraded all the elevated railways instead of knocking down all the lines that didn't tie into one of the tunnels?
Better off without the elevated trains in Manhattan. Second, Third, Sixth Avenues in those days were dumpy, lined with cheap tenements housing bars and pawnshops. A complete waste of valuable real estate.
Some lines ran between manhattan and the bronx. they required a trolley pole in the bronx and a third rail shoe running in the slot between the tracks in manhattan
The pics at Rockaway ave were post 1940 when it was the last stop towards downtown brooklyn and you got a paper transfer to connect with the A underground.
They could've kept the 3 Av el portion in the bronx and make it go underground into Manhattan into 2nd Avenue
Before leftist burned it all to the ground
Well done.
That EL from 149 st to Fordham road was so decrepit they had limit the trains to 4 cars and block several notches in the motorman’s controller.
Notice, how in those days and I recall front ends where open sometimes in summer prior to no a/c. Nobody jumped out either LOL.
This is like a funeral I could never attend.
At the 9:21 mark, is there anyway this footage can be restored?
I was going on 5 years old in 1969 when my dad took me and my brother on the last run of the Myrtle Ave line. I grew up in Eleanor Roosevelt houses in Brooklyn and Broadway/Myrtle was the train stop. I used to look out my bedroom window and see the Myrtle Ave train and the J train that runs along Broadway. Back then it was called the QJ.
they shoulda kept this line around. I'm young and know nothing about riding around on the 8, but I used to live on E 174th and go to school on Gun Hill and honestly I would loved to walk through Crotona before and after school just as an excuse to get on this line. The convenience of this line now would be amazing. I wish we had more advanced cameras like we do now back then cause this would be a dream to see super clear.
My city
City line to Lefferts blvd was built 1915 as a dual contracts extension. the extension was connected to the IND A train at 80st in April 1956. it then went underground over the new extension from Euclid ave with Grant ave station right after entering the new tunnel
It looks like the upper level of the Second Avenue Bridge had two tracks. How were they used?
Being this el was just a bridge shuttle in poor condition it was torn down but with no plan to replace it. In Boston the Washington st El ( Orange line) was in bad shape but they built the replacement corridor before they took down the el. nyc does things ass backwards
If I could go to the past, I would prefer to see New York these days with all its old buildings and elevated subways rather than see dinosaurs or pharaohs.
OMG, I can't believe I can watch movies of by far the most memorable fan trip of my life, the 1975 D-types-on-the-streets SBK excursion. The movie omits an important but far less interesting subsequent part, a run down 37th Street and McDonald Avenue under the Culver El and into Coney Island Yard, elicitng much gawking from bystanders in that more residential neighborhood. Ironically, that part had been advertised as the main attraction of the trio. The advertised itinerary was a trip to Astoria and back, followed by the McDonald Avenue section. This was intended to throw off freeloading motorcaders. The train didn't actually enter the Army Terminal. The building shown at 1:11:20 is the 2nd Naval Battalion Armory on First Avenue between 52nd Street and 51st Street, which was demolished a few years after this trip.
time machine...amazing how re developed midtown once they took down the EL...but they not replace it ..could use a line on 3rd ave ....
It is such a shame about NYC these days...
I have a kerosene 🏮 lantern that fell from a wooden gate car overhead, in 1955. It missed my father by a few feet when he was getting into his car on Myrtle and Washinton.
Lived on Waverly just in from Myrtle.
Lastly the 9th Avenue El was held the 3 train before being cut back to West Harlem
Very enjoyable. Got to ride the Bronx portion in the mid-1950's on a visit to the zoo.
My grandfather may very well have been driving one of those Trolleys. Thank you for your priceless vids!
For the cost of constructing one section of that overly expensive 2nd Avenue Line, all the demolished ELs in Manhattan could be rebuilt, which change left over.
LATE NIGHT W/ THE DEVIL on SHUDDER HORROR 😅
I am interested in polo grounds area off the 4 line if I am not mistakeing of course
Good day, this is SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT of SUBWAY.. I would like to see as much footage regarding IRT in the BRONX .. we now only have one letter line assigned the D ( IND ) for my OFFICIALS to use and gain knowledge of how to utilize the ghost tracks
Once you go to Frordam plaza on the Harlem and Connecticut metro North railroad station. You will definitely see the remaining of the Thrid Avenue Elevated wall station structures and the Thrid Avenue Elevated entrance.
I wish it was still here today. I love these old videos
I lived a half a block from the Gun Hill Rd. station and remember "The Dinky" shuttle to a hun-eightieth St. It was a great day when the number 5 train gave us through service to downtown.
Spent time hitching on the trolley who had the pulley who had the light who had the door who had the window and in summer we wood hang on the screens onside of trolley if you missed the trolley we wood pull down the pulley and stop the trolley
In 1966 , as a teenager I worked part time at the corner of Bridge Street and Myrtle Avenue for a bookbinder.....we were on the second floor and the Jay Street station was right outside our window......
the el went infront of my house-
Look, no trash, no homeless, no abandoned cars, no 8lacks, good times.
Beautiful before the 8lacks came in and ruined everything.
I rode these trains in 1957- 1969 nice train cars too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter the stations had a wood stove for heat
Looks like a lot of fun. Too bad I missed it, Very imaginative design.
looks like miserable times
Can you repeat that?
This city once had soul, character, working people. Now it has trust fund kidults and the bland condo towers they reside in.
RIP Roger. My sister and I loved going to his presentations in the Bronx YMCA on Westchester Avenue
It's actually crazy how much more dense and tall the Bronx used to be. I went on street view for a lot of these areas and all that density is gone. They were demolished and turned into much shorter buildings or parking lots. Those giant magnificent factories that rival the pyramids, all of it lost.
I wish all his footage was clear like digital remastered so you could see everytĥiñg.....
Absolutly wonderful archival presentation ! I grew up in Marine Park area of BKLYN and relied on the IRT Flatbush Ave (@ The Junction) #2 train along with the IND/BMT Kings Highway station Brighton line .
UGLY....
Great memories of the 3 Rd Avenue L. This film is a true gem and masterpiece!!
