Description by OLDIES.com:
The late Frank Schlegel was a pioneer in shooting trolley and railway movies. Shortly after eight-millimeter cameras, projectors, and film were introduced in the very early 1930s, he was out on the streets of Queens shooting footage of the New York and Queens County Railway.
As films and cameras improved, he widened his orbit, particularly of trolley operations, to include the Public Service trolleys across the Hudson River in New Jersey, and the legendary Lehigh Valley Transit north of Philadelphia for a number of visits and fan-trips over the years. But he always returned to New York City and its boroughs - the Third Avenue Elevated, the Third Avenue Railway, and the New York Railways.
These scenes are historically significant not only for recording long-gone trolley equipment and facilities, but also for showing POV shots of road vehicles, buildings, and people from a long-vanished era decades ago.
Includes:
- Public Service of New Jersey
- Lehigh Valley Transit
- Third Avenue Elevated
- Streetcars in New York City
