Third Avenue Lightweight Streetcars

More to come

[daveklepper]

Here is about as good as I can do within a reasonable amount time.  After that we will go north in Manhattan, mostly conduit cars, all the way to Marble Hill 225th St., nprthern end of conduit.  Details will wait until the edit button is restored.  Future postings will handle The Bronx, including some far south of 225, and then eventually Yonkers and Mt. Vernon.

But converables now have their own thread.

Nice clean-up job!  Remember the old saying, "The best is the enemy of the good?"

Sometimes just have to go with what's available.

My photo of the 65th St. 3rd Ave. main workshop and car house is from a very scratched negative. I did not think the defects would show up as clearly as they have, so I've gone to work on it, with some improvement.  May be able to do more, but it does take time.  Here is a progress report.

Who cares if it doesn't reflect current operations?  Those old photos are cool!  Sometimes I think the folks over at "Trains" take this stuff WAY too seriously!

Thanks for posting them David!

First postiung from south at City Hall Park Row to Marble Hill for conduit operations, and then hope to post Bronx and Westchester wire opeations.  209 St - 225 St. B'way had both so Bronx cars could access Kingsbridge car house.
