In this remarkable photo obtained from the New York Public Library Archive, we see a 42nd Street trolley pose at the east end of a short tunnel on 42nd Street. This photo is dated 7/23/1939 and is labeled from P. L. Sperr. This photo is only used for research purposes showing not a well known tunnel, called the Prospect Hill Tunnel.
You are facing west on 42nd Street I believe at 1st Avenue. The East River is to the photographer's back. This is a great photo. Tudor City was built by this time. What a classic shot and a great streetlamp above on the street.
