Hello "Putnam" and, again, JON !
Glad you both enjoyed the photos. Even tho its only attempts at "modeling", I do strive for prototype realism as much as can be possible.
Here BELOW are 3 prototype photos of one particular "between the tracks" tower house on the BMT Broadway (Brooklyn) EL Line just Eest of the Marcy Ave. EL Station.
The First photo looking west towards East River (and Manhattan) shows, in 1910, a train of wooden BMT EL Gate cars coming off the Willy B Bridge to the junction with the "Main" El Line which, going straight ahead at left, which went a few blocks westward down to and ended at the East River and Broadway-Fulton Ferry Terminal.
The NEXT two photos show the same tower in present times, and same basic direction of view, and as such the line to the FERRY terminal has been gone and removed for 60 years or so.
The LAST photo, heh, is a "reversal" of the 1910 era top photo, and closely replicates the junction modeled on my own EL seen in some of the photos at my earlier post.
Regards - Joe F
