Manhattan: 9th Avenue - 50th Street (West)

Ninth Avenue, north from W. 50th Street, as photographed from the downtown "El" platform. Shown are details of track and station at this point prior to demolition. Note the raised express portion. This was inclined to permit the shunting of 6th Avenue trains eastward on W. 53rd Street. June 6, 1940 Views 1,2,3 P. L. Sperr
