• Enric Martinez said:

Subway train on the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan, New York...05/1974.

from U.S. National Archives

• TVL1970 said:

  This is actually the Manhattan Bridge, not the Brooklyn Bridge, although it too bridges Manhattan and Brooklyn over the East River.

• The U.S. National Archives said:

  Thanks again, TVL1970! You are correct. This is the Manhattan Bridge, not the Brooklyn Bridge. We will work to update our descriptive data on this image. Jerry (U.S. National Archives)

• Raven Cat said:

  Yes, the Manhattan Bridge....and I'll be riding this train back home in about an hour!

• Paul Fernandez said:

  This is definitely the Manhattan Bridge! I have been on that bridge and on the Brooklyn Bridge too many times not to know the difference.

• rdgrahamiii said:

  Ten years ago, there was a message saying you were going to update the description. Ten years is a long time not to have it done! Ron
