Posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Mon Feb 3 00:08:48 2020, in response to Re: Guess the Location??...Not so easy!:), posted by TUNNELRAT on Sun Feb 2 20:08:18 2020. Hello Steve !NO, I did not answer your question - nor will I do so here. You summarily dismissed what I, in good faith, wrote here - as to what I was told back in 1960 in a conversation between myself and a person (with a second then noted historian pal of his also present in the conversation) on this subject. Therefore, you summarily dismissed that person (my then source) and his companion fellow historian, and thus, myself. But, without your additionally presenting any alternate proof or documentation to refute what I was told and I thus related here. But Steve, that's not an issue with me whatsoever ! You and I are both old historians. However, as BOTH persons (whose names you likely have heard of anyway) are long deceased, and cannot now describe here themselves, their side and whatever facts or data they had back in 1960, I see NO logical or practical purpose, reason, for their names to be bandied about here - perhaps only for them to be possibly dismissed or sullied. As far as Bob Emery - as extremely very well respected as he was, and I knew of him for many decades, he is still listed as THE "UNOFFICIAL" LIRR HISTORIAN on many records. Even if he was one of, if probably the most, prolific LIRR historian we have known - along with Vince (Seyfried). And yet Emery has no location-track-maps drawn of any LIRR to IRT deliveries for, specifically, the "1922-23 delivery of BMT EL cars" to Queens for those BMT EL shuttles ??? If he did, we likely would not be having this discussion at all! Lastly, I only relayed what I was told as far as I can best remember after nearly 60 years -- but I will gladly accept and very much value any physical proof -- ie: maps, photos, transfer special-moves-records etc., -- provided of such transfer, that refutes what I, as only a "messenger", have provided. Best Regards ! - Joe F |
