Reply to "Random Photos of Trolley Cars"

Although the New York & Long Island Traction (NY&LIT) Company's rolling stock long ago perished, one car that operated over the line has survived because it was a BRT (Brooklyn Rapid Transit) car that was converted it into a sand car, No. 9730, and purchased by the Branford Trolley Museum in 1950.  Members of the Branford Museum did a great job of restoring the car back into her BRT 1792 configuration.

Built for the BRT by the Laclede Car Company of St. Louis in 1899, No. 1792 on loan to the NY&LIT, once operated through Long Island towns such as Rosedale, Springfield, Lynbrook, Baldwin, Freeport, Hempstead, Garden City, Mineola and along the Jamaica Avenue Branch (AKA Jericho Turnpike) through Queens Village, Bellerose, Floral Park and New Hyde Park.
