I would imagine that vast stretches of trolley tracks remain in place, albeit under a blanket of asphalt. I've seen the ones you mentioned at Cortelyou Road, there are some others showing through at 7th Ave. & Bay Ridge Avenue (69th Street), and I remember back in the late 1980s, when they were rebuilding Brighton Beach Avenue, seeing them having to rip out the old rails - that was the first time I realized that the alley next to the supermarket was an old trolley right-of-way.The tracks, however, are probably not historical landmarks, nor do I think they ever would be. They are too extensive and stand (lay?) in the way of under-street infrastructure. |
