You really come up with some great photos.
The first one is at Chatham Square before the rebuild with the flyover for the South Ferry branch. When this photo was taken, third ave trains going to and from South Ferry crossed on grade
The second Photo is at the W 23rd street Ferry Terminal. That is a NY Railways Green Line car running on the 23rd st Crosstown line. This car had the distinction of stopping in front of Madison Hardware. Service ended in 1936 when parent, 5th ave coach substituted buses for the service.
The third photo is during the great 1947 snowstorm, december 26th i think/
The Blue birds were a real modern car way ahead of their time. In the 1930's They worked on the Fulton Street line in Broolyn before the A train was built.
Not sure about the Brooklyn El photo. It almost looks like downtown Brooklyn near Sands Street.
