Nostalgia at its finest!
HECK YEAH!!!! It’s so COOL
That's a really good museum though!!!
One the one hand, I applaud the decision of the hard wearing rattan, but at the same time I feel so sad that the NY subway missed on on funky moquette seat patterns...

man I love trains here’s a 1903 car, one of the first motorized cars and here’s a 1930s one, updated to hold more passengers
omg train pics. I am not into trains but when I read my historical fiction books I am often like wtf did those things even look like back then. Love the pics!
If you ever get the chance to visit the UK and want to see some amazing trains I highly recommend the National Railway Museum in York! :D
yoooo! That’s so awesome, I’d love to go!
I hope you get to! There's so many famous British trains there :D
THIS MUSEUM Oh fuck yeah, I haven't been there in years, not since for a school trip If ur doing tourism in NYC and u haven't tried it yet, go to a shake shack My favorite restaurant in the world Always always amazing
it’s soo cool! hehe :3 And dw I’ve been to shake shack! they have em in most cities, AFAIK… unless the ones in NYC are extra special :U
Oh lol Have been told that Shake Shack appears to be an NYC thing but ig not then :P But no, the NYC ones dont have anything special bout em 3 If u haven't gone yet, then I'd also try Juniors They famous for the cheesecake but I always go bananas for their coleslaw :3
this beauty was the last style of wooden elevated car to run in America, phased out in 1969... she’s painted in the World Fair’s official colors.
this one from 1948 has updates like fluorescent lighting, and plastic seat covers instead of the rattan. so cool… ok that’s the last train I’ll spoil for ya, go to the transit museum :3
If you ever get to Pittsburgh, we’ve an entire museum of trolleys. Most of them still work and get taken out for a spin.
And over in Sacramento, we have a very lovely steam train museum, including a lovely train that will go out and back for an hour of sightseeing.
