Makes one wonder where those creatures . . . er, BINO's, were made.

Trivia.........

Unlike their early Queens counterparts, the earliest MTA "Torpedos" never had roller curtains.

Of course, the "slant back" buses that ran in Queens were also ...

It makes me wonder what Mr. Fischler would have thought about my particular knowledge of the "toid" rails, the different types, the positioning among "divisions," and such. And wh ...

W.B,:

Doesn't look like "Noo Yawk" is faring all that well, nowadays, pro sports-wise. Sad

Gotta wonder.........

We often discuss how the "players" on both "Noo Yawk& ...

W.B.:

Gotcha.

So, what route would that "Kramden" have been operating on?

"NYO"

I'd have to look comprehensively, but wouldn't it have been the B-10?

The "RAIN-jers"..........

From what I've been hearing the past few days, they've had a QUITE embarrasing startup to their 2026 season, one that was a "foist" in the NHL's books. ...

W.B.:

Good additional historical info! Wink

"Pee-Es-En-Jay" was another die-hard YELLOW customer; back in the 30s and into the 40s, the fleet was totally YELLOW, save for one " ...

Apparently, based on a YouTube video put up a day ago, the R-68A's are also on the N line. May have to do another "ex-coision" to see if they're on the W as well.

The C's, from what I co ...

From what I see, the R-211's that the A used as I saw today were not the "open gangway" types. I seemed to read they were all assigned to the G line.

Interesting......

When "NYO" buses replaced the last NY Railways streetcars, they obviously followed "Fak-ko's" example by purchasing new YELLOWS.

It is also interesting to n ...

I can vouch for that; I finally did my "soivey" of the "Bee-Em-Tee" situation, and besides the "Frankie" still holding on to the "Brighton Belles," there are th ...
