Posted by Andy on Wed Sep 1 17:16:47 2010, in response to Re: Sept 1 important anniversary, posted by Terrapin Station on Wed Sep 1 12:32:27 2010. Again, no specifics either way, so no sense continuing this sub-thread. Exactly what does "slightly better than average but not as good as should be expected" mean? Could refer to cars, stations, tracks, tunnels, service patterns, etc.I was only trying to mark the anniversary, anyway. I remember it well. Right away, the old H&M "black cars" carried a new blue and white sign that said "PATH/Port Authority Trans Hudson." The following year, the use of two small 15 cent tokens for the 30 cent fare was replaced with a single 30 cent larger token. And PATH initiated a design competition for 250 new cars, which of couse became the PA1 fleet built by St. Louis. A poster showing all bidders' designs was displayed in all of the old cars. |
