STATEN ISLAND’S RAPID TRANSIT
Staten Island (Richmond County) is the only part of NYC without subway service. However, since the 1860s, a railroad did exist on the is- land, later connected by bridge to New Jersey and owned by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Passenger service to the ferries connected Staten Island with the other boroughs. This film, recorded by Gary Grahl and friends us- ing a Super 8 movie camera, portrays the historic railroad and its progress under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).
