Photos from the MTA Holiday Train, pretty much a trainset of cars from the 1930s-1950s trotted out in December and a few times a year for pleasure excursions, will leach out in FNY this month.
All I’ll say about this photo is that subway cars have gone from looking like organic, living and breathing embodiments of the industrial revolution into the anodyne chrome capsules of today, with programmed voices and shiny shiny chrome, because chrome shouts modern efficiency. But you should have been on this thing as it roared under the East River.
