A Ride on the IRT Low-Vs to Yankee Stadium

On the day of the final home game ever at the old Yankee Stadium (9/21/08) we ride between 149 Street & the Grand Concourse to the Stadium at 161 Street & River Avenue. This is sentimental in a way - coming out of the tunnel and seeing the old Stadium for the final time.

Lucky man!

They had ceiling fans in the cars in 1923? They should try to put them into the new cars, it would make the ride a lot more comfortable.

I don't know how you cool yourself off in the summer, but most people prefer air conditioning!

Obviously Air Conditioning feels better than the cooling power of a ceiling fan. But what I meant by my comment was that because the air conditioners on subway trains are not perfect (a lot of them probably don't work at all), a ceiling fan may actually be more reliable.

Even so, no ceiling fan can provide the comfort of an AC - not to mention the extra money the TA would have to spend at the vendor. That also begs the question - what happens when both AC and the ceiling fans beak down? Sorry dude, not gonna happen.
