The vast Third Avenue Railway System operated virtually all trolley service in Manhattan and The Bronx, New York City, and in Yonkers, Westchester County. Encompassing about 400 miles of track and some 1,500 trolleys, the Third Avenue made it possible to ride trolleys all the way from the Battery in lower Manhattan to the northern boundary of Westchester County. From Times Square to rural Yonkers routes, this huge system provided an endless variety of scenery and rolling stock for ordinary travellers and trolley enthusiasts alike. This fine three-part series offers a nostalgic look at one of the most interesting street railway systems in the eastern U.S. Manhattan lines were abandoned in June, 1947, while the last Yonkers trolleys ran on November 9, 1952.

Volume I features lines in Manhattan and the southern Bronx. Included are 42nd, 59th, 125th, 138th, 149th, 163rd and 167th Street Crosstown lines, plus B - Broadway, K - Broadway-Kingsbridge, O - Ogden Avenue, S - Sedgwick Avenue, and T - Third & Amsterdam Avenue routes. Enjoy nostalgic views of trolleys operating on Broadway, 42nd Street and at Columbus Circle, and ride a trolley fantrip from Southern Blvd in the Bronx to Park Row in lower Manhattan.
