What I have noticed is that everybody is talking about how filthy the cars were. Nobody is talking about how hot the cars were where as most of them were not manufactured with air conditioning
Very true, and the whole system had a different "flavor" back then. The sounds and smells were different because all the windows and doors were open when it was warm. It was much louder, especially on the underground lines, and you smelled the break dust. Anyone that was ever on a summer MOD trip knows what I am talking about, if they weren't old enough to live it. Even going over the bridges like the Williamsburg and the Manhattan Bridges was a totally different experience with all the windows and doors open.
