SynopsisIt covers every piece of trolley and cable car that the Brooklyn trolley giant The Brooklyn Rapid Transit and later the Brooklyn and Queens Transit Corporation ever operated. This new work traces the electric trolley equipment from the consolidation of the Brooklyn Rapid Transits fleets. It continued to improve and provide the best public transit in the City of Brooklyn. This hard cover has 360 pages of B/W historical photographs from the Edward B. Watson collection. It contains all the open and closed cars along with the various stages of rebuilding of the trolley fleet. The rare photographic work is accompanied by new drawings of most of the major orders of cars. A complete 1904-track map of all of the Brooklyn and Queens's traction lines along with roller sign layouts of each type car and complete roster with a roster of preserved cars. This will be the most complete coverage of the Brooklyn Empire. For a Brooklynite, should be required reading. For the historian of traction and traction modeling, it has equipment for every taste and era.
