Posted by Joe on Sun Jun 11 12:10:27 2017, in response to Re: GW Bridge buses in early years, posted by Joe on Mon Jun 5 14:00:46 2017. Sometimes I must post a Great Find, even though it is not exactly on topic. Otherwise, I could lose the link.--- The photo below from the municipal archives looks west over the Harlem River to the George Washington Bridge. Important for me in this photo is the not-yet-in-use 178th Street tunnel emerging from under Amsterdam Avenue and looping south to an intersection at wide 175th Street. For almost a decade, the ramp and tunnel were two-way. The ramp now serves as an exit from I-95 north. The photo is not dated, but the streetcar on Amsterdam Avenue is older than the home-built modern cars of the 1930's. It has the shape of a convertible. Wikipedia says that the 178th Street vehicular tunnel was built in 1940, but the age of the streetcar makes me think the photo is perhaps a year or two year earlier. Link: |
