The old Polo Grounds shuttle service across the Harlem River has been discussed here several times in the past. I never dreamed that videos existed of the service. Never underestimate the scope of YouTube!
Starts with the Dyre Ave line - second half is the Polo Grounds shuttle (starting at 13:40). I'll probably be spending the rest of the evening watching the rest of the videos from this contributor.

Thanks for posting. Roger acara had a number of films of New York City Transit facilities including the Els in the city and Brooklyn which have been long gone. I can remember when you could buy these on VHS. I think they did make it to DVD And of course they are now all on You Tube. I believe these films are the earliest and most comprehensive films of these El lines that were available in any format. all that are interested in this material would be wise to search it out on You tube and enjoy. A Lot of history on these films. Thank you Roger.
Great stuff! Thanks Jim.
Some how I missed this when first posted....what a great video!! Thanks Jim for posting it.

Fabulous video. I'll have to look for my pics of the remnants of the Polo Grounds shuttle, Jerome Ave El merge. You can see them on the north side of the new Yankee Stadium.

Found it!

After posting that video, I came across another video of the shuttle in color and with better quality. The shuttle segment starts at about the 4:10 mark
