Lost Trolleys of Queens And Long Island, (NY)

An amazing assortment of electric trolley lines once traversed the towns and villages of Queens and Long Island. With names like Jamaica Central, Northport Traction, Ocean Electric, and the Steinway lines, some meandered across meadows and hills while others sped over elevated tracks. There was even one line that had streetcars but no tracks. In the end, all of them helped stitch the countryside into the concentrated suburban area it is today_with barely a trace of the trolleys left anywhere.Meyers, Stephen L. is the author of 'Lost Trolleys of Queens And Long Island, (NY) ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780738545264 and ISBN 0738545260.
