Hello (Fisk Ave) JimGlad you enjoyed this change of pace in history & photos -- something differnt. Thanks for (and to some other posters here) for your shared very interesting MEMORIES. I really enjoy and can relate to your 1950's Flushing Line as well as more so the Jerome-Woodlawn IRT EL line, as I ro9de them both in the 1950's. Those are the kind of now long (heh), ancient but stunning memories to our then very young minds that served over time to shape our feelings for (nostalgia of) transit as we are now. It did for me -- always a new adventure discovery and vivid experience somewhere. There was SO MUCH distinctive variety of transit equipment in the 1940's thru early 1960's --- much of it then ancient -- and those memories most of us from that long ago era do not forget ! I guess it somewhat shows in my O-Scale modeling endeavors. As I grew up closely associated with and regularly exposed to the old Manhattan & Bronx pre-war IRT steel subway and wood EL Gate and MUDC & Q-Type car rolling stock, the ancient BMT stuff (steel Standards and D-types, and wooden BU Gate and C & Q Type EL Cars) were just as "normal" and everyday relevant -- if not strangely "different (AB and D types) for the IRT ! The Manhattan IRT 3rd AVE EL and the IRT Lexington Avenue subway were my constant daily viewing and riding exposure to NYC's transit when I was young !! regards - Joe |
