New York City’s sister city, Moscow, Russia also has a long and illustrious Streetcar History. Sergey, an avid member of the like-minded Moscow Tram Society, gives us a webpage full of historical Moscow transportation photos .
AS BOB DIAMOND HAS BEEN SAYING FOR 30 YEARS:
THERE IS SO AN 1830’s LOCOMOTIVE BURIED UNDER ATLANTIC AVENUE !!!
The laptop screen image shows the aggregate results of the Cesium Vapor Magnetometer scan of the center lanes Atlantic Avenue between Hicks Street and Columbia Street, performed in January, 2011 by consultants retained by National Geographic TV. Note the clearly defined “Red Hot” object. Only pure iron comes up “Red Hot” in the CVM scan, while soil, clay and other non ferrous objects are depicted in various shades of “blue- green”.
Its note worthy that this “Hot Red” object was revealed at precisely the spot where Bob Diamond suggested they scan first.

some of BHRA’s former PCC cars, brought from buffalo to brooklyn.
we had 11 of them waiting for restoration and retrofitting-
how lovely they would have been servicing the waterfront trolley line!
they were stored at the brooklyn navy yard until our project was ended:
we have no idea where they ended up.
if you have seen them somewhere, please let us know!!
