Bronx Trolley Lines did stop in 1948, however you could still ride a trolley up Broadway from Broadway & west 242nd St to west 263rd St and Broadway into Yonkers.
The streetcars in Yonkers — operated by Yonkers Railroad Company — made their final runs on Sunday November 9, 1952. (Some sources say November 8, 1952.) By then some of the routes had already been cut back with buses substituted on the outer ends. The reason for this was that New York Public Service Commission inspectors had ruled that the condition of track on the outer portions of the some of the lines was too poor to allow the cars to safely operate. For instance on the No. 1-Broadway/Warburton line the trolley service ended at Warburton and Glenwood Avenues. Riders traveling north of Glenwood Avenue — the No. 1 route ran as far as the city line — had to transfer to buses to complete their trip. Photo on the last day the trolley’s ran have a car from the #1, #2 and #3 line parked at Van Cortlandt Park.
On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.Yes, it was a common practice to exchange horses if you did not stay the night.
Paul Revere appears to have made the Trip to NYC in the Summer of 1774 as a personal trip, using his horse and sulky, so it was a little more comfortable.
Sarah Kemble Knight rode the Boston Post road in 1704 and in her diary of the trip noted the bumpy and rocky roads.
