Re: 3rd Ave Trolley Route in Manhattan & Bronx!

Thanks to Spider for identifying the structure, a stub of the Cross-Harlem Expressway. Now we know that the plow pits were on 125th Street immediately west of First Avenue, and that is the location of Willis Avenue car 99 in the photo referenced earlier. If I recall correctly, you were not allowed to have both the plough and the trolley pole connected simultaneously. First remove one, then add the other, to avoid connecting the two power supplies.

In the 1940's, the pit I observed most often was on 145th Street.
