So lets go over to Brooklyn for some combinations. 

First off is the BMT and the Snow.  Not sure which Elevated this is, maybe the West End. Looks like we are in operation just after a big snow storm and trains are running.

We are on the Brighton Line and its snowing. The set of Standards is covered nicely in the snow. Picturesque but glad i am not out there riding,

How about a B&QT Peter Witt 8000 series and an El? This one is near the end of its service career. Some of these cars were held over to cover Rush Hour high traffic needs on remaining lines in the 1950s.

Trolleys went well with Baseball too. Here is the original Clark company prototype PCC car near Ebbets Field, the home of the fabulous Brooklyn Dodgers.

Brooklyn PCCs and Ebingers Bakery . Both Brooklyn Traditions we would sure like to have back again to enjoy.

And there was a Peter Witt and the Brooklyn Paramount. This Peter Witt is on the Dekalb avenue line and probably went across the Brooklyn Bridge to Park Row in Manhattan. Its a great film with fabulous stars of the time that is playing at the Paramount. The Peter Witt in Pre Board of Transport colors is the real star in this shot. Hope you enjoyed Combinations.
