What would a Triboro bus signed as Q72 be doing down there?The B72 was a TA route until 1961. It was part of the Grand Ave/Grand St trolley line that once ran from Delancy St to LaGuardia Airport. The line was split into 2 parts, when the trolley service was eliminated. One part went from Bridge Plaza to Maspeth (B59) and the other went from Roosevelt Ave or Corona Ave(?) to LaGuardia Airport (B72). This part of the route differed from the trolley route which used a private right of way and Jackson Mill Rd between these points. |
