Description: From the shadow of the elevated structure, where a lamp globe marks a station entrance, a stream of people crosses the brick pavement toward the camera: young men with papers and briefcases, one laughing in a sweater, and women in hats behind; awnings and shopfronts line the street beyond. In 1937 the Second, Third, Sixth and Ninth Avenue elevated lines still carried much of Manhattan's traffic.
