    An excellent video of the Brooklyn trolleys. My mother always tells me, when she was 10 years old, she used to ride the Coney Island Avenue 🚎 to her piano lessons. I also got to meet a few long time motormen, who actually operated the trolleys in Brooklyn
  • I'm 72 and remember seeing streetcars in downtown Brooklyn and open-platform cars on the Myrtle Avenue El.

    As a kid I used to see the tracks for these poking through the asphalt all the time.

    I remember the trolley running down Wilson Avenue (Brooklyn). Yeah, I'm that old.
  • Thanks so much for your video Suum.. I live in Brooklyn most of my live. Im 71, but I was young I used to see where these tracks underneath the elevated lines in the 50 and 60s. I never knew what they were for.. I only seen trolleys when I was going to college in Boston back in 1970. They were small and tight but a new experience to ride. Thanks for these videos by the way the Governor wants to make a a light rail from Bay Ridge to Woodside Queens.. I hope I'll be able to see it in my lifetime l would love to ride it.

    Trollies on Nostrand Ave., Bergen Street and Rogers Ave. Easy to hitch on the back. Bikes always got caught in the tracks.
  • Back then in Queens the Trolleys ran there also.  Nice video of the trolleys in Brooklyn.
