This man, who stank like Bigfoot's Dick and whose pants were lacking where they were most needed, gave another soul his last bit of change. Thank you, C Train, for teaching me the meaning of generosity. And also for making me 30 minutes late to my soccer game. And for traumatizing my girlfriend.

Immaculately restored and for a normal fare, you can ride on these cars on the F line from 2nd ave to 145th, making normal stops along the way. You are able to walk through each car to see the different styles and remodels. It's acceptable to dress in time period clothing as well. Original signs, advertisements, lighting systems, fans, ventilation are all displayed and completely functional. The car was getting hot, so, the fans turned on! It's a very special experience to ride on a car that people used from over 100 years ago. It makes you appreciate the technology of the subway system. So cool, particularly if you are partial to vintage and old NY history.

The train goes all the way to 125th street. We got off at Columbus Circle for the holiday market.The train is a circa 1905 subway complete with working fans on the ceiling and rattan seats.

Whether it's safe these days at certain hours I'm not sure. I know I wasn't fond of traveling to Port Chester alone at times in my life. I remember the times I needed a cab. Finding a cab was hit or miss. Incoming trains are not on the side where you can easily enter the Station Building. You walk down the long flight of stairs to a back street. Frequently my family would be waiting outside the station to pick me up. Sometimes they were late! I've never seen the inside of the station dirty. I always found it deserted. I didn't travel during peak hours. On my return trips to Manhattan I go outside and wait patiently for the train. I'm always afraid I'll miss it if I wait inside. I sure don't want to be stuck there waiting for the next train! When my Cousin Jim was alive we would sit in the car and talk. When we saw the train coming I'd head upstairs to the track. He'd wait to see I boarded safely. That memory makes me sad. It was nice to be cared for by a Cousin/Brother. Since he died I don't go back to Port Chester much. When I do my daughter usually goes with me. Thanks for letting me share my memories. And thanks Bill for posting. Seeing your recent post revived my history using this old Railroad Station!

Back in the…read moreday, I rode the IRT Lexington Ave local train from Canal St to 96th St (and back) every day for 6 years to and from school. The ride was typically 1/2 hour long (barring delays) starting at 7:30am, since it was a local train. I can still remember all 9 stops along the way. The 1/2 hr ride was also good for finishing up last minute homework, reading assignments or just a quick nap. Sometimes we would meet friends along the way that got on at intermediate stops. As the train went uptown, it gets more and more crowded, so we were lucky to get on towards the beginning of the route to get seats. Back then, there was no air-conditioning, just a fan built into the roof of the subway car and during the summers, it was unbearable. If you sat at the end of the car, you can open up the sliding door, just to get a breeze. It was also fun to ride in the front car next to the motorman's compartment and look out the front window as the train is rolling through the tunnels at 30 mph.

It seems to be an older train, and the seats are smaller but manageable. The seating only becomes odd if multiple people try to sit next to each other, as the way the seating is molded it doesn't leave much room (everyone can get pretty crammed together or have weird gaps that include possibly sitting on a seating contour due to the ergonomic design of the seat). Aside from that it gets you where you need to go if you're running along on the east side.

It connects over 500 destinations, including big cities like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Portland, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Washington, D.C. and more. One time I thought I wanted to arrive in NYC by train from Miami Florida. It's the old romantic movies I had seen creating visions of glamour and excitement as you are welcomed in Penn Station. Even though I was being met by my daughter I anticipated the glamour of arrival. I also remembered my train ride from Florida to New York with my Mother when I was little. I had so much fun and my mother had motion sickness the whole way! As I should have known a trip of that length would be uncomfortable unless you had a sleeping car. The train was crowded too because I decided to attempt this in July. All the kids were out of school and going to theme parks. The bathroom became filthy in time and the children impatient with the ride. The parents impatient with the children. I sat with my headphones music blasting and looked out the window during daylight hours. The experience was miserable on the return trip also because I cried all the way back to Florida. I had plenty of time during that train ride to make a decision and a plan to move back to NYC. The experience is not one I want to repeat. We were held up in Florida by railroad crossings during Florida tropical downpours. In Washington D.C. we were held up by train problems and train traffic trying to get in and out. When I finally arrived my daughter greeted me with a look of chagrin because she couldn't find me. This was pre cell phones. By the time I arrived I was traveling a full 24 hours at least. From then on I took a plane! I'm not saying I wouldn't try one of their travel packages for a short excursion. I do think car travel is still my favorite!
