Manhattan and Queens Traction 114 on Archer Ave and Sutphin Ave. Car is NYC bound, with the Long Island Railroad Jamaica Station at right.
Manhattan and Queens Traction Co had one long 13 mile line from 59th St and 2nd Ave in NYC to South Jamaica mostly on Queens Blvd. The line was not part of any other company but shared track for a few blocks on Jamaica Ave in Jamaica with the Brooklyn and Queens Transit and with other lines on the Queensborough Bridge. These particular two-man cars ran 1914-1937 when the line was bussed (and later absorbed by Green Bus Co.).
