Hello randyo Thanks for that concise explanation....pretty much explains it. You were, as I feel, quite fortunate to have worked (started) with the NYCTA (in 1966) in the tail end of the good but waning years of the pre war EL (wood BMT Q types only) and subway equipment and in a time when the old IRT and BMT "feel and look" was still much prevalent. Those were real "transit men" of the old school and era still in the system then. My father worked the 3rd Ave El (and other Manhattan Div. ELs, but mainly 3rd) in the mid-late 1930's and I myself many years later got to know a few of old timers (motormen, as they were then called and a few conductors) on the 3rd Ave (Manhattan, Bronx) El and IRT subway thru the years from the early-mid 50's thru late 60's...as well as a few retired guys back then. It would have been great if we could have transcribed all their conversations about transit and their job, experiences, in "their times" on the job.....a sort of history lost to, but, in our own memories of hearing them. Again, thanks for sharing those (your) interesting transit timeline and memories ! Regards ! - Joe |
