Through rare archival film footage, this program showcases the last four trolley lines to operate in New York City: #35 Church Avenue, #68 Coney Avenue, #50 MacDonald Avenue and the Queensborough Bridge Railway.
You'll take a fascinating trip from Long Island to the underground terminal in New York City, see PCC cars operating in 1956 on some of the final runs made and, as an added bonus, enjoy pre-war cars in operation before their replacement in the 1950s, early 20th century gate cars, the World's Fair Blue Bird specials of 1964-65, oddities such as the Polo Grounds Shuttle, incredible snow scenes, and more. Color, 1 hour.
