Re: GW Bridge buses in early years |

Posted by Joe on Fri May 26 20:43:46 2017, in response to GW Bridge buses in early years, posted by Joe on Sat May 20 18:55:54 2017. I thought I'd present a chronological narrative of GW Bridge buses in the early years, but I am having difficulty finding information. Therefore, I would like to offer three excellent photos of the Public Service Terminal in Washington Heights, offered by Brian Cudahy, who gave the location as West 168th Street. The year is circa 1954-1955.--- In the next photo, the fire alarm box and fire hydrant would seem to indicate that the three Public Service loading lanes are on the northeast corner. Note the bank, spaghetti house, and bar, typical of our city in the 1950's. They are probably on the east side of St. Nicholas Avenue. --- In the next photo, the route of this bus cannot be seen. However, the design of the upper corners of the apartment house windows above the tailor shop causes me to think that this terminal was on the north side of West 167th Street, running the short block from Audubon Avenue to St. Nicholas Avenue.
