very unusual train on NYC RR in 1930(?)


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

A few months ago someone (Mike T?) said that it was unusual to see a train not pulled by a locomotive.? I¡¯m doing this from memory, so I hope I didn¡¯t misquote.

?

A friend sent me the photo below.? Classic view of NYC steam, but look at the train.? Behind the gondola are 10 cars destined for the new ¡°IND¡± New York subway system, followed by the caboose.? Probably built by American Car and Foundry, St. Charles, MO.

Peter,

Procedure was Friday, May 27th.? Went well.? I doing intensive cold therapy for five days, and the shoulder pain is almost 100% gone.? Doctor examined me last Thursday and said that I could start physical therapy two weeks sooner than normal.

Whatever option Nick chooses is fine with me.

Hi, Phil and Nicolas,

?

SPUR is conducting a tour of the Salesforce Transit Center, including the unfinished train box, next Monday, 13 Jun 2022.?? This is something I¡¯ve wanted to do for a long time, so I have signed up.?? The tour is from 12:30 to 1:30 PT.??

?

I will rush home afterwards, but will probably not be home in time to start our scheduled 2:00pm PT Zoom session.

?

Let me suggest a couple of options:


  1. You can start at 2pm without me, and I¡¯ll join you as soon as I can.
  2. We can delay our start time to 2:30, and go for 1-1/2 hours instead of our usual 2.
  3. We can delay our start time to 2:30, and run until 4:30.

?

I will certainly provide you photos, but probably not quite that quickly.

?

Sorry this messes up our schedule.

?

Phil, hope your procedure goes/went well!
