We are past the anniversary of the end of service on the 3rd Avenue El from Chatham Square to 149th Street on May 12?, 1955 and here is a cute clip that I found on subchat posted by Monorail last Sunday. It will show you how 3rd Avenue looks today and there is a interesting King Kong cameo which is shown
destroying the Sixth Avenue El?*. At least it is in the same family. Rapid T. Rabbit is shown in his "The Third No el".
* According to one expert, the 3rd Avenue El did not have the equipment shown destroyed in the King Kong movie in the 1930's. (ie. Lo-V Trailers) and the Third Avenue El did not have any 90 degree turns in midtown Manhattan according to one source at subchat.
I hope you enjoy it.
