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

    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

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Australia in Black & White, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    That's great pic... it's so classic
  • Albert Alcoceba said:
    Can anyone identify the station?
  • Enric Martinez said:
    What does it represent? From the little what I have been able to find out is that people gathered for some sort of wandering or picnic or similar. Here 'mystery' can man that they took a train at random.
