Great compilation. Closing pics are 9 Ave El removal looking from Greenwich St. across Christopher - Not 6 Ave El. More compelling than views of the 3rd and 2nd Ave, Els long straightways (except for some of at South Ferry and Cooper Sq of 3 Ave El.). We see enough of what remains and what landmarks are recognizable but torn down, from the past, from Lower Manhattan, Tribeca. West Village, 6 Ave-Ladies Mile shopping, Midtown West!
You did a good job on this 6th Ave El Book. We are constantly updating our One Drive site, from which most of the photos were presented. You missed the early Gilbert / Metropolitan El History and the split of the 6th and 9th Ave El at Battery Pl and up to Morris St, which was the original end of the Metro El. The Express package spur was also there. See our Picasa album at "NYC6thAveEl | 116363262722377355677 El" and out Time Traveling on the 6th AVe El site at "sixthavel.mysite.com/main.html", where we have a narrative of the trip North on the El. We are citing as many of the photos with the correct source data, especially the contibutions of P L Sperr via the NYPL, which are numerous, as well as the photos from NYC Archives and the Museum of the City of NY and NYCSubway.org and several photos from our own collection. If you would like to collaborate any further in this or other Elevated RR ventures in the future, please advise. We sent you a link via Google Plus.
Excellent photographic slideshow and solid research. The grammar in the captions is atrocious and so is the spelling. I recommend revising for the sake of the hours put into this excellent project.
