Chris Rivera,
Sounds like you identify with that old Poni-tails record, "Born to late". Yes you lament about missing those great now begone subway lines and equipment. But I shouldn't talk either, although I got to ride the Myrtle Ave and Bronx 3rd Ave "el's",ride the BMT Standards,D & Q Types, R1-9's and witness brand new R-27/30's and 32's, I too am envious of older railfans. Railfans who rode the Manhattan "els", elevated and trolley cars too. We can all have comfort in one thing, we identify with the promise of a Second Avenue subway. Notice I didn't say STUBWAY !!
