Riding the Nostalgia Train to Yankee Stadium
ByNew York City Transit, the arm of the MTA that operates the subways, is running a special nostalgia train up to Yankee Stadium this evening. To find the details about catching the train, read my post on Second Ave. Sagas about the special ride.
$50 that thing breaks down and you wind up walking 1/2 a mile through Harlem and the South Bronx in the middle of the night.
There’s a reason why they retired those things.
I would take you up on that bet. They run these nostalgia trains all the time and not once has one broken down. Plus, they’re running one train at 6 p.m. north. That’s hardly “the middle of the night.”
