The problem with the lack of air-conditioning was not just the heat, but also the noise. Usually all of the doors between cars were open. If you had a car with flat wheels, the noise would reach dangerous levels (unless the train was above ground). I'm sure I suffered some permanent hearing damage during those years.

I did like the Bronx Third Avenue el; I lived at Gun Hill Road during its last two years. The stations below Fordham Road looked like they hadn't changed in 80 years.
