NEW YORK CITY HEAVY RAIL
Approaching Myrtle Ave.

Old buildings along Brooklyn's Broadway overlook the elevated Jamaica Line in this scene.  The Myrtle Avenue El used to cross over just ahead, and continued to the right  to downtown Brooklyn (and once long, long ago on across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan).  That entire part of the line is gone now, but I rode it in my youth, and remember well the antiquated cars that once plied the tracks.
