Is the MTA Planning Anything for November 1?

Posted by Mitch45 on Mon Oct 15 17:14:42 2018

The 100th anniversary of the Malbone Street Wreck.

Any kind of memorial? Anything? Bueller?

They should, but they probably don't know anything about it.

Actually, the Malbone Street crash along with the Union Square IRT crash and the 42nd Street Derailment will all be observed at Transit Museum's Grand Central Holiday Train Show.

The show will be titled

"Screw the goddamn passengers! What the hell did they expect for their lousy 35 cents - to live forever?".


The usual boring train layout will be replaced with meticulous model reenactments of the three worst fatal subway incidents. Along the walls of the store will be grisly photos of customers who were either pushed or intentionally jumped onto the tracks in front of a train.

Joe Cunningham is giving a talk at the Museum on the 1st. Don't know the time offhand, but afternoon, I think.
