Re: [PHOTOS] Lexington Ave. el

These are valuable, historic, excellent and simply awesome photos!
Thank you so much for posting and sharing!

Though I've seen a couple of these photos (and I think purchased a a couple from Walter Broschart at NY Div meetings in 1967 or 68), stations have never been identified - so the fact that you've researched locations is very welcomed.

And Herman Rinke's rooftop shot - excellent! Rooftop shots were a favorite of Steve Zabels's so many years later when he took photos of IRT lines in the Bronx.

I was around for the end of the Myrtle and Boston's Orange line el (north and south) in Boston, but was too young for this one - born in June 1950, this ended that October. And my Dad went into the service for Korea in early 1951 (the "doctor's draft" - he was a dentist).

Once again, these are great!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
