Hello IM NOTORIUS IRBY IN NEWARK NJ WHO EVER MAKES THESE VIDEOS IWANT TO SAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THANK YOU VERY MUCH BECAUSE I WILL LOVE TO SEE NEWARK NJ PASS HISTORY AND I WILL LIKE TO GO BACK IN TIME TO SEE WHATS WAS LIKE TO LIVE BACK THAN I WAS BORN IN 1963 SO IDONOT KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT OUR CITYS THANK YOU AND KEEP DOING THE VIDEO BECAUSE I LIKE IT
You are a GREAT historian. I grew up in NJ (I'm 64) and.I had no idea Manhattan had so many elevated lines. I only remember an elevated platform on 250th st, with a spark or two coming down from the tracks...this was 1982. Is that still there?
Why on earth tear down such an important piece of transportation infrastructure during the worst war in world history? This was at a time when gasoline was rationed, and people were asked by advertising, "Is this trip really necessary?"
I love these videos of forgotten NYC and transit history. Thank you.
These films are priceless. Just amazing.

I think you are thinking of the Bronx, I don't think there is a 250th st. Station in Manhattan. And I don't see one in the Bronx either...
irks me on how much we have lost for things like this .

Maybe they should have started the underground digging before they tore it down.

The film quality is so bad, I can't tell the difference between round columns or square columns. Not at all worth watching!
