First let me apologize for not being more on the ball about the 2009 MTA Nostalgia Train in NYC. I was distracted by grad school and only yesterday did I notice the sign advertising the 2009 MTA Nostalgia Train. It is running on the V line on Sundays until December 27th, but because of yesterday's snowstorm, it's not running today. That means next Sunday is the last day to catch the Nostalgia Train. It's too bad that I missed the Vintage Tea Party on the nostalgia train on December 13 - maybe some of you were fortunate enough to attend?
Anyway, it is a 1930s train, a bit beyond what might be considered steampunk, perhaps more steampulp or dieselpunk. Anyway I intend to try to catch it next Sunday, since I live right near the West 4th Street station, so it's just a matter of waiting on the V platform until one comes along. It's rather last minute but if anyone else is interested in riding the vintage train on December 27, leave a comment and we'll try to meet up.
I know I've not posted to this community before but i must share with you my tale of adventure!
Due to circumstances still unknown to me my time machine seems to have made a wrong turn somewhere in the cosmos and i have arrived, quite to my surprise in this wintry land.
(Fortuitously one of my trips into the future provided me with some excellent snow shoes!)
