The opening credits are NY Subway, I use that opening for the beginning of all my "produced" videos :)

Where did you get the trolley footage from part 1? My dad, Frank Hargrave, worked at the trolley park in early 70's. I remember him having a home movie with the exact same footage.

The film was in the museum's collection. It was on a continuous loop reel. Nobody knew where it came from.

Hmm, looks like a more intresting ride than the loop at brooks.

I hate to say it, but for riding, brooks is a crappy place.

From what I can remember it is identical to the one my dad filmed. I am going to have my sister try to find it.
