Queens Boulevard Trolleys, narrated by Vincent Seyfried
Last
month, Vincent Seyfried, “the dean of Queens County historians,” died at the age
of 93. Seyfried chronicled the history
of Queens and of its railroads and trolleys, publishing more than 30 books in
his lifetime. He made important
contributions to the La Guardia and Wagner Archives, including descriptions of
trolley car lines captured on film in the 1930s. The Archives has made these films and
Seyfried’s narrations available on our YouTube
site.
