I had no idea NYC had el trains! I just read the wiki about the Third Avenue El: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRT_Third_Avenue_Line Seems like it got killed by slimy real estate agents. New York has such an interesting history.

I didn't know that's what happened! I do remember in old movies the train going right by the apartment window. Talking about a place being "too close to the road" (what my old gf used to say was wrong with every house we could see driving by it).

Apparently it's the West End Line in Brooklyn that scenes in The French Connection and Saturday Night Fever were filmed under. Plus it was in the credits of "Welcome Back, Kotter." :)
