Description: Manhattan's Lost Streetcars by Stephen L. Meyers By the first quarter of the 20th century, Manhattan had well over 400 miles of streetcar trackage, an investment of several million dollars. Less than 50 years later, the rail system had completely vanished. Manhattans Lost Streetcars chronicles the finance, political pressures, and advancing technology behind Gothams streetcar networks from 1890 to 1935. The story ends with the dismantling of the system. Manhattans Lost Streetcars recalls a bygone era when public rail transportation was aboveground and New Yorkers rode the Metropolitan Street Railway, the Green Lines, the Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line, and the Brooklyn & North River line, among others. It features images of the independent rail companies and the individual lines that made up a vast public transportation network in Manhattan.
