Posted by ntrainride on Sat Mar 6 07:55:11 2021, in response to Re: The liberals who wanted to shut the bakery......, posted by FYBklyn1959 on Fri Mar 5 07:43:50 2021. just to keep it in the context of the honeymooners universe, so trixie and norton and alice and ralph have to leave bedford stuyvesant, with luggage, and get to a train station or a terminal where it was possible to catch trains departing for (or making connections to) minneapolis and norfolk.ok. first, how would they have left 328 chauncey street (damn, never realized it's a block from ralph avenue :} ). by subway? the fulton street subway station was the closest. with the broadway elevated a few more blocks away. if it was by train my guess is it would have been the subway. i know in at least one episode alice mentions "going down to dekalb avenue" to do some shopping. so the assumption is "their station" was ralph avenue on the a line. it's highly probable they took the train, considering how expensive a cab from central brooklyn to an out-of-boro destination for four adults with luggage would be. and it was the 50's, and its brooklyn, so it ain't all that unusual to travel heavy. with all that said i'll accept that they could have had a friend drive them. but, again, to where? easiest choice is pennsylvania station. in that case, the implied scenario is, there were departures scheduled for two separate trains headed in opposite directions leaving roughly at the same time. first, it's obvious that alice and trixie boarded the correct train and ralph and norton screwed up. just sayin'. but if it was penn, one could probably check out an official guide for a random day in 1955 to see what may have been available. i'll have to look into it, by and by. i was sorta hoping it could have been some north river jersey terminal but it seems unlikely. i don't know...jersey central (connecting) to d.c. and (erie? erie lackawanna?) hoboken to chicago, okay but that's two different terminals. |
