7343 on Rt 9 southbound on 32nd alongside Ridge Depot
7343 was one of 40 cars rebuilt in 1953 with their windows turned upside down to resemble NYC Third Avenue cars. The photo was taken in 1954. Rt 9 was abandoned on January 29 1956, and was partially replaced by Rt 50 and bus routes 7, 33, and 48. Ridge Depot closed in 1961 with the conversion of Rt 61 from trackless to diesel.
