I loved the 3rd Avenue El1 It was a timeless way to see Manhattan. My father and I would take long rides on the El. I, and lots of other folks, cried when it was torn down.Later, I had a job as a Bungalow Bar ice cream truck salesman, and I had to ride the surviving Bronx portions to get to the garage. I kept track of many of the WF Steinway and Lo-V Steinway numbers. I spotted Lo-Vs such as 5637 and 5647 mixed in or leading trains; trailers such as 5335, 5337 and 4902. Getting to that job was half the fun. On Sundays, the service was only every 20 minutes apart all day, though, with just three trains. It was really a shame that onne of the MUDC motors were saved. Amazingly, three of the 1887-era Gilbert ^ Bush cars were, however. Two of them atr at the Western Railway Museum in Rio Vista Junction, CA however.
