I just added the following to my "Transit Buff" page. I only put things that "I personally" remember. I was born in '53 and most of the following are from the 60's. Remembering that I'm not a writer, what do you all think?


Do You Remember??
  • Having to put a token in the turnstile to LEAVE a station on the Rockaway Line?
  • The "NX" Super Express on the middle tracks of the Sea Beach through Stillwell to Brighten Beach?
  • The Woodhaven Station betw E.NY & Jamaica on the LIRR?
  • Double Deckers?
  • Freight trains to the C.I. yard on the roadway right on McDonald Av under the El?
  • The state names on the Blue #7 train cars?
  • Kelso winning the Jockey Club Gold Cup (Sorry about that!!)
  • The Av B & E. Broadway Bus Company? How 'bout The Jerusalem Av Bus Company?
  • The elevator at 149 Street between the underground IRT & the Third Av El
  • The Engineer having to get off just before Hempstead Station to manually throw the switch?
  • The street level waiting room at the Flatbush/Atlantic LIRR Station?
  • The Culver Shuttle?
  • The pumplike brake handle clanking away on the R1-9's?
