I like the images and I like the song, and I had fun putting it together. The 36s (Flu. Redbirds) were delivered in '63-'64 but the basic turtle-back roof SMEE subway cars are a creature of the 1950s and 1010 of the 2800 IRT SMEEs were produced 1956-1959, the subject of this Bollywood song, "1956, 1957, 1958, 1959" - Lata Mangeshkar, Manna_Dey from the film Anari.
Also, the signal system on this line as existing in 2001 was installed in 1956 and just recently replaced.
The video material was recorded on my first DV camcorder tape.

Queens Blvd Sunset Clip - July 1998 Super 8 (commemorating 50 years of SMEEs on the Flushing Line.

@bbryanable The Twin Towers were still standing at that time when the Redbirds were still running. R.I.P to the Twin Towers 1966-2001 and R.I.P Redbird trains.
