Yes, trolley tracks on Stuyvesant Street. Some of those tracks were removed in the 1990's during the rebuilding of the road surface for the triangle gardens at the Stuyvesant and 9th Street intersection. Tracks in NYC roadbeds were used by a variety of trolleys and trains including horse drawn omnibuses and cable cars. An El it's not.

Trolley tracks? In 1895?
Probably for elevated trains: "By 1880 most Manhattan residents were within a ten-minute walk from an el."
