This was not the complete end of streetcar service in Manhattan. Several of the Bronx trolley line would continue to operate into the northern section of the borough until August, 1948. The Queensborough Bridge Railway would operate until 1957. You left out the Brooklyn trolleys that ran over the Williamsburg Bridge until December 6, 1948 and the trolleys that ran over the Brooklyn Bridge until March 6, 1950. To be a purist, none of the bridge trolleys actually ran on a Manhattan Street. They all ran directly from a bridge into an off-street terminal without ever entering any part of the Manhattan street grid.

But the Wilbur/Wilma was eventually brought back when the 2nd Ave. line opened.

Great pics and memories Bill. I worked it one Saturday with a train of R40 slants, round trip. I can't recall if I dropped out at CTL as scheduled or continued on to 179 where the train was layed up for E or F service for another use. Thank you. I searched by database and didn't find any photos of slants on the Aqueduct Special. I posed a question on the last photo. Was this job considered high seniority ? Bill M.
