Speed Graphic Film and Video | Hollywood Outtakes: New York City Elevateds @SpeedGraphicFilmVideo | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
A few evocative shots of New York's old elevated lines. The film quality isn't that good, perhaps because these shots were taking from release prints. Furthermore, because many were taken at dusk or at night, the film had to be undercranked in order to get enough exposure. I've compensated for this on playback, but you'll see that the film looks noticeably jerky.
0:00 The initial shot shows the flyovers that connected the Second Avenue Line to the tracks on the Queensboro Bridge.
0:41 Three shots in a row of trains going through the S-curve at Coenties Slip on the Third Avenue Line.
1:31 A brief shot, looking the other way at Coenties Slip.
1:34 This shot appears to be the of Sixth Avenue Line where it passes Bryant Park.
2:13 A final shot, at night this time, at Coenties Slip. Before the train moves off, you can see a passenger walking through the cars.
