He talked about how he wound up qualifying to run the old timers.A funny thing happened at 59th-CC. We stopped to let a young lady get off the train (Bill Wall keyed open one leaf) and as we pulled in, he yelled to Steve, "Don't forget to stop!" You could hear Steve yell back from inside the cab, "I know! I know!" Had it not been for those WDs before 125th, it would have been a six-minute run. We rocketed past 72nd, 81st and 86th. The 6th Ave. express run was very fast. |
