Talk:List of streetcar lines in Manhattan/1916 guide

This comes from the 1916 Brooklyn Daily Eagle Almanac, which is hosted on Google Books, but only in their annoying "snippet view". Because of that, there is one description that I am not sure of, and there may be missing lines.

The surface lines in Manhattan and The Bronx are controlled by the following lines: The letter A indicates that the line belongs to the South Shore Traction Co.; B to the Pelham Park and City Island Ry. Co.; F to the N. Y. Railways Co.; D to the 3d Av. R. R. Co.; H to the Union R. R.; I to the Pelham Park R. R.; J to the Southern Boulevard R. R.; K to the Mid-Crosstown Line.
