Thank you for sharing this vintage footage. Is there more?

Very cool! I always wondered what the route looked like before the "H" system was implemented. Now I know, seeing the train turn left (west) for the stop at 42nd St before heading for 7th Ave. Thank you!

It can be downloaded in a couple of formats.
I am not sure how Global Image Works can license something that is in the public domain.
