50 Years to Far Rockaway

http://gallery.sourmilk.net/thumbnails.php?album=26

Posted the pictures I took on the “Nostalgia Train” excursion to Far Rockaway.  Just a photo dump, no editing except for size.

The trip started from 57 St/7 Av on a set of R1/9 cars.  We then proceeded to Queens Plaza to get on the E line so we could go down Eighth Av into Brooklyn.  There was a brief stop at Court Street (the NYCT museum; yes we rode right into the museum), then headed to Rockaway Park.  If you stayed on the train, you would have gone to Far Rockaway and back across the bay before going back to Rockaway Park.

IRT City Hall Station pictures

I posted the pictures I took of the IRT City Hall station.  The tour was given by the New York City Transit Museum on March 15, 2008.

I’ll have to touch up the pictures at some point, most of them are really dark (the station’s lighting isn’t the best).

While I’m at it

I upgraded the gallery to the latest.  Tell me if anything is broken.

I should really write in this thing

Deferred maintenance isn’t a good thing. Upgraded Wordpress to 2.5.1.  Please tell me if anything is broken.

I’ll try to post a little more often, but not tonight because it’s time for bed.
