I ended up at Newark Penn Station once coming back from DC because there was a power failure into NYC. They told us to take the Hudson Tubes. Couldn't find them at first, but in trudging around Penn station, there was an arty deco sign that said, "city subway" ... I wondered if there was perhaps some BMT misroute, so wandered down to a low level platform which looked LIKE a subway. So figured I'd hang out since there were other folks doing so too.Suddenly, a blazing single headlight appeared in the distance and folks started getting ready to board as it rolled in. It was ... a streetcar. Cool! So took a ride. On the way back, encountered an old friend who had moved from the Bronx to Leonia and turns out his DAD was an operator. So we connected back up and on the occasional Saturday when he was working, we'd meet up and take turns running it out to the far loop after it had emptied out. Boy those PCC's could scoot! :) |
