Kevin
Walsh's Forgotten NY website
-It's about all the things you pass
in the street and never notice...ancient advertising on buildings;
trolley tracks and poles that are still there; abandoned rail
lines; outdated signs, cast-iron lampposts and other things that
usually pass unnoticed.
Tom Scannello's OLDNYC.COM website "explores the abandoned and little
used railroad lines in New York City". There are extensive
pictures of the Rockaway and Bay
Ridge lines.
