Motorman Joe Brady waves his cap as he operates Car No. 601 on its last round trip on the Queensborough Bridge, April 7, 1957. Number 601 was the city's last trolley car. Service to Welfare Island, midway over the bridge, and between Manhattan and Queens continued via buses.

I found an old meta post of @hansbekhart 's where they were talking about what public transport would've been like in Brooklyn in Steve and Bucky's day, suggesting someone might like to have a try and combining two maps to show both the subway and tramway / trolley system.

And as a meta nerd I thought I'd have a crack at i!
