Sorry, Lion.The Fifth Avenue el closed in 1940, so its stations don't count. City Hall (1945) and 18th Street (1948) had already closed by the time this film was made. Ditto Court Street (1946). |

I met him at Woodlawn in 1962 when he was switching in Mosholu Yd. His nickname was “Mother” or “Ma” Loughlin acquired when he planted a garden in front of the crew room/yardmaster’s office in Mosholu Yd. What is interesting is that he looked exactly the same in 1962 as he did in the 1948 film. |

Actually, that wasn’t quite true The BMT had a mix of Irish and Italians in the Southern Division and Irish German and Polish in the Eastern. The IND while it was the first division to employ minorities was still largely Irish at the time that movie was made. One of the reasons why the subways streetcar lines and bus lines had an inordinately large percentage of Irish employees was that unlike other immigrant groups, the Irish spoke English as soon as they entered the country due in large part to having the language forced on them by their British overlords. When speaking on her biography of her late husband Mike Quill, Shirley Quill commented that when they arrived in the US, the Irish spoke English “in a way” which is why they were well suited to jobs requiring interaction with the public like transportation. |

I guess it all depends on where the ethnics decide to settle. An old time IRT T/D who was from Allentown Pa, told me that back in the days of the P & W interurbans. it was not uncommon to ride one of the Liberty Bell Limiteds and hear nothing spoken but German. I’m sure that the operating staff of that railroad was equally fluent in German as well. |

Great story, I lived in Allentown,Pa. , from age 2 to 6.We moved to Philly but my dad still tought gym & health in Allentown. He lived with his folks all week except he came home Wednesday nites and weekends. I remember riding The Liberty Bell Limited from 69th St. to Allentown with my mom to see my dad one day. Don't remember anything about the trip but us going to 69th St. to catch the trolley. |

Well ... none of the stereotyping is quite true, but if you close your eyes and really believe, then it works as long as you believe. :)But we sure did have a lot of fellow "Micks" working the Irish railroad.

And German was taught in Cincinatti until WWI. As to speakimg English on arrival, I would remind all that Spanish is the "native" language in Puerto Rico,and predates English in Texas, NM, Ar, and CA. ANYONE who doesn't bother to learn at least one foreign language is lazy in my book. |

Myrtle Ave on the BMT Manhattan Bridge Route, the Fulton St. el stations which were over the IND subway, and the Broadway Brooklyn eastern stations to 168 St. are some of the missing stations. |
