nice photos Bobby. These were all taken near the time that most of these lines were replaced by busses or trolley busses. The city did not repaint many of the Peter witts into the Green colors. 

The second photo I am thinking might be a Flatbush Avenue car. Grand Army Plaza was an interesting place like some of the plazas in paris or Rome. 

The third photo could be a Grand Street car beginning its run into Williamsburg. In the photo you can see the twin trolley wires for the Flushing Avenue Trolley busses. which would have been pretty new at this time. 

The Canarsie shuttle ran down to the Canarsie pier when the original rapid transit line was cut back to this location. I remember riding that one. 

Next photo with the Ralph Rockaway car has just left Bridge Plaza and will soon enter Broadway under the Jaamaica El to proceed eastward

the last photo Tompkins avenue . These cars were replaced by Trolley busses shorthly afte rthis pjoto,
