Posted by George Foelschow on Fri Aug 23 15:36:57 2019, in response to 3rd Ave Trolley Route in Manhattan & Bronx!, posted by Elkeeper on Fri Aug 23 13:09:45 2019. The Third Avenue Railway Company was a major streetcar operator in Manhattan and the Bronx. The "main line", among many, was the Third Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue line, starting at Park Row and Broadway, proceeding north on Park Row and Bowery to Third Avenue, to 125th Street, then to Amsterdam Avenue, and north to Fort George. It was converted to bus May 18, 1947. Electric cars were preceded by cable power, the north terminal being 130th Street and Third Avenue. My information comes from "Third Avenue Railway" by Frederick A. Kramer. |
