This lithograph was posted in "Subchat" by "Queensboro Plaza" a few days ago. It is a 1930 drawing by L. Lozowick and it shows, I believe where the Queensboro Bridge branch of the 2nd Avenue El separates from the 2nd Avenue mainline around 59th Street. I think that it is very cool. The late teens, 1920's and the beginning of the 1930's was the golden age of rapid transit.
