Here's one of my favorites, the Jersey Central freight terminal in the South Bronx.
Here's a link to a great site about it.

This is 11th Ave in Manhattan Little crowded for street running
The guy on the horse was a rule to lead the train. Most of them were Italian imigrants and wer known as West Side cowboys
OK I got it from a very reliable source Joe Frank posted these for me. it is looking SE (in direction towards Prospect Park further SE) along 10th Street from between 3rd Avenue towards 4th Avenue and the building of the sub-steelwork of the new IND 4th Avenue Station (later encased in concrete and brick) of the IND huge viaduct portion over the Gowanus Canal. View is about 1929-30.

Mystery solved. If you look into he distance on the earlier photo , you can also make out the bridge at 4th ave. The walkway in the center in the newer photo is interesting.
Thank you Bob..they are great shots

What year did this happen?
I've seen photos of CP's train, but never so much as a suggestion that it ever got near the Northeast, much less actually within NYC's boundaries.

The CP Holiday train would be on its way into Queens. Pewrhaps it was going to the Fresh Pond Interchange with the New York An Atlantic and the LIRR.
