That very long Third & Amsterdam streetcar route marked T in the late 1930's and 1940's went north under the Third Avenue el structure to East 125th Street, then turned west to Amsterdam Avenue, and followed Amsterdam Avenue to Fort George.

The Arcadia book by Charles L. Ballard "Metropolitan New York's Third Avenue Railway System" has on its cover a photo of car 189 passing the Tri-Boro movie house on East 125th Street. On page 13 is car 140 westbound at 3rd Avenue, with the el in the background. On page 14 is car 195 eastbound, with the New York Central in the background.
