Boardwalk Empire Train

HBO's Boardwalk Empire joined with the MTA for this cool subway trip. On the 2,3 line from 42nd St. to 96th St. every weekend this September.

Pulling in from the 1930s.

Lightbulbs work

Thank you Nucky I will enjoy.

Babette's is open.

I'm a big fan.

Picture time for the amateurs.

Through the windows that actually open.

Classic and classy.

MTA doormen there to ensure safety and calm. Great job can't wait until next week.

Staten Island Train Ride

So found an old camera an decided to take the train on Staten Island because living all this time in NYC I never took the ride. First was the ferry trip to Staten Island and a clear view over the river.

Oh no the waterfall was turned off, they must of ran out of water.

I should make postcards. Look at that shot.

This shot was taken on a sunny afternoon, very creepy.

You can so film a werewolf movie here.

End of the line.

What losers a couple in front of us was taking pictures.

Nice view.

They even have a beach.

Back on the train I tried taking pictures of every stop, don't worry I won't post all of them.

Off the train again and I realize I need a shore house.

A look back at the city should end this picture perfect weekend.

For all your travel needs on the Staten Island visit the following...

All it cost is the price of a Metrocard.

Tranist Museum: Part 2

Well this week has been extra special for the NYC subway system. One hour of rain and nothing works. Here are trains that stayed dry over at the transit museum.

Older train car.

The details of that car.

The S to Chamber no longer exists.

Carpeted, fabric seating, and ceiling fans...nicer than my living room.

Ads are a constant.

These were made to last.

Then add color.

Changed the seats.

Notice the straps. Straphangers, get it.

On the way to the Museum

A weird subway art-statue face.

Little statue guy hanging from the beams.

Perfect day in front of the American Museum of Natural History.
