And Now For Something Different

Before the lock-down, Eddie and I decided to go to the New York Subway museum. It was interesting to see the history of the subway, as well as pictures of then and now.


Sometimes I wonder who took all the old pictures of the city. MANY of them were taken by the subway crews. They photographed not just the workers, but nearly all the buildings along the routes. That way, if there was any damage to the foundations, the city could fix it.

It was cool. And then, downstairs, were all kinds of old subway cars from forever.

One of the very early trains.  The upholstery was woven ratan. 



These baby blue trains were "World's Fair Blue" and used as express to the World's Fair.

I’m in Steamboat Springs - most posting begins on Sunday

 However, I had to post this. Everything is kind of poopy now (see no curse words). So I take humor were I can.
