I think the B42 bus replaced the trollies on Rockaway Parkway in the late forties. There was a sign that was being sold at a train show that mentioned it. It was sold for a very discounted price to the now defunct Canarsie History Museum. Remanents of the trolley tracks remained until repaving in the early 60's and most of the original row between E 95th St and E 96th Street were taken over by the people whose houses were adjacent to it. Houses were built on the Avenues crossing the row, so access to the inner section was impossible. A nursing home, Canarie HS, its field, Key Food and the HES are some of the commercial buildings built over the row. The substation remained until the mid 60's at Ave J and 95th Street. when the athletic field was built. |
