Well done. Thank you.

Why were the trolley cars shipped to Europe?

I almost cannot tell you how moved I am by these images of a lost Bronx, long before I was born in the borough. Many thanks for this treasure.

Thanks, very cool! It amazes me that after decades of being out of the Bronx I just have to see a flash of something recognizable and I knew where it's being filmed. It hadn't changed much from the 30s to the 70s I guess.

I need orientation at 8:58... is that Mckinley Square and Boston Road ?Thanx for any info///

Amazing how cars cut right in front of the trolleys at 3:45 I don't think that would work today, but an awesome video thanks.
-
Incredible!!!!!! Thank you so much. The narration is well done...and history speaks volumes!!!

the auto companies paid off the politicians to get rid of the trolleys and replace with gas burning buses and personal cars( I still smell the lead in the air.)Same thing happened in L.A.
Oh yeah, the rails were pulled up sold to the Japanese ,and came back in bullets,! -
I'm With You, Baby !!!
