@JenniferNicoleKandel Your friend Alyssa can and should be your inspiration as well....she seems to be doing very well in her pursuit of a college degree.

Jennifer, you took a very good song and made it your own! I wish I had been there to hear this one live! Thank you for sharing this with us.

@fuzzypaws17 This was one of my favorite top 40 songs when it was released in 1966. The 50's and 60's were the best decades for popular music as far as I am concerned. A lot of well written and performed songs which beat almost everything else that is being electronically created today.

@slapshot68 citi didn't want to pay the MTA (or vice versa) so the MTA renamed both the #7 and the LIRR stations to "Mets-Willets Point".

@F7railfan The F's also supposedly had better ride qualities than their contemporaries the GP7/9's although they were mechanically similar. They were more suited for road freights and passenger trains than for local switching. Both are true classics not unlike mid 1950's automobiles.

The office building the lion enters at the end of the commercial is 2 Broadway at Bowling Green. The older building across the street is the old US Customs House.

@rjmins There is only one Hi V deck roof car and one Gibbs Hi V car in existence and those are in Connecticut and Maine. All the others were scrapped long ago. The Lo V cars should definitely have been included.

@Ruinedbad The Winnipeg Jets were sold and moved to Phoenix where they now play as the Phoenix Coyotes. Selanne is one of the few currently active players who once played for the Jets. He was traded to the Anaheim Ducks in 1996. The arena in which the Jets played was demolished in 2006 after a...

@gerbillisish That was the aftermath of the Union Square wreck in 1991. A drunken motorman ran a train over a turnout at many times the permitted speed resulting in a fatal accident. Five cars (1435,1436,1437,1439,1440) were damaged beyond repair in the wreck.

@cantecacara That car is an R7A #1575 which was wrecked in 1946 and its working components transplanted into a new carbody which was a prototype for the R10's which were the first postwar subway cars. It looks like an R10 but mechanically it is only compatible with prewar R1-9 cars.

@tpvalley The E's were designed for good ride at high speed not pulling heavy trains up grades. Most roads with steep grades used F or FP units for that service since they had all axles driven. More recently the GE ES44C4 has computer controlled load management to give the performance of a 6 ax...

Not "detuned" like the modern cars. In good condition those cars could move despite having only 2 motors unlike postwar cars which have 4.
