Heh. Definitely not something I'd want to do. :)

Even with subway cars, humid summers of Coney Island were no fun either. Nothing like dumping a train, letting the air out after applying handbrakes and then opening the reservoir cocks to at best a spray, or worse a cloudburst. Heh.

For those who are unaware, the tanks fill with water after sucking in all that humidity at pressure and when the pressure went away, it would all condense and leave a lake inside the reservoirs. And if the tank was full of water, then you weren't gonna get your air. So when you did a layup, you had to drain them and you'd best check before doing a putin to be sure whoever laid it up did so. Ah, don't miss that at all. =)
