PCC 1007 is turning east onto Neptune Ave
The car will go past 553 Neptune Ave, my old house, before turning right onto the private right of way. The east end of Neptune ended under the Van Sicklen Station before resuming further west. Triton ran from West 6th (where the East end Neptune ended) and only ran a couple of hundred feet until it ended at the Coney Island Creek.
The power station that was at the south end of the private right away is one of the few remaining original buildings of the Gut as the area between Ocean Parkway and West 8th Street was known. This neighborhood was destroyed by Fred Warbasse and Trump Sr.
