damn, I miss those trains! now theres very few of them left! Thanks for the video! it really brings me back to my childhood. I was only 5 years old in 1997. Do you by any chance have any vintage Long Island Bus videos?
Think how I feel.... I'm more than 20 years your senior and can still recall the M1s in their *original* paint scheme going under the 67th Ave. (Forest Hills, NYC) overpass, when the lead cars had no upper headlights, the tracks there were still wooden and their odor combined with the odor going up from the trains (a combo of metal with grease) became almost addictive.
@@ZviJ1 : M 1's were the best, was never crazy about the M'3's ... Looked similar but had a very different ride, almost bouncy...... I remember my first ride on a brand new one out of Penn with my Aunt.... 1968..... No door closing bells initially, but a pinging sound. It was all very exciting and what started me with the train thing.... Those babies used to fly through those tunnels in those days....You'd hear all kinds of funny sounds.... LOL.... I was 5 at the time... The first and the best Metropolitans ! I applied out of High School back in 1981, but there was a 10 year waiting list..... Here are some of my videos you may like dating back to 84' at Mineola : ua-cam.com/video/s5iFJq6_bR8/v-deo.html
@DrSurprise Sorry, I do not (did not?) have any "vintage" Long Island Bus videos. I could not afford the videotape. However; now that I'v gone digital, I do shoot pictures of buses. I think though that my bus pictures are still photos, not videos, and it will be a while before we can call them "vintage".

@@Italman45 i wasn't talking about the Leslie S44s on the M1s
