WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An OUTSTANDING collection of photos; thanks heaps for posting here!!
I have to admit, I was quite astounded by the variety of vehicles used, including some actual buses!
In my area, the "cookie cutter" Fords indeed dominate; you see little else in the general area.
SPHINX has obviously been around for many years; I retired in 2003, and I well recall seeing SPHINX vehicles both on Boulevard East and at Nungessers.
BTW:
Regarding subway lines coming into New Jersey:
Back in the early days of the H&M (today's PATH) there were plans to extend the H&M south from Jersey City through Bayonne, and then, through a new set of tubes, to Staten Island.
Also, the lower level of the GWB (which did not open until the early 1960's) was originally intended to carry trains of the then-new IND 8th Avenue subway across the span via the lower level and into a new multi-modal terminal at Fort Lee.
Alas, too much red tape (as well as the Great Depression) killed that grandoise plan.
Again, AWESOME photos.......appreciate your sharing here!

As also, I suspect, did auto-oriented "master builder" Robert Moses. |
