And here is a 1948 view of a Ridgewood-bound trolley on Corona Avenue in Elmhurst. 91st Place is on the left, and right turn past the theater is the Hampton Street bridge over the LIRR Port Washington Line.I remember this vacant lot and billboard from my childhood, and the streetcar tracks were still visible until the early 1960s.

Thanks as always!!!I have a question- was the R31 vacuum train any good? I know that the R137s have not been considered a success, and I was until now, unaware of any previous efforts to run vacuum trains. |

Main: The was a big media display promotion and demonstration when the train was new. After that we didn't hear much about it. I don't think that it did very well. Maybe someone here knows more.
