On Sunday I was standing on the 14th street station of the F/V line, and an ancient train pulled up to the platform. It was painted a dark william green, with big fat bolts lining the doors. Inside, the car and seats were carpeted. The old ads were still there, including one suggesting that your man overseas would love a pack of Burma Shave. There were ceiling fans, which made me glad it wasn’t summer. Everyone was taking pictures like crazy but I didn’t have my camera. I had to ride it just one stop, but for three minutes I felt like I was in a Narnia book or something.
Anyone else notice old trains running on Sunday?

They’re only on the V line. I haven’t seen one yet, but there are signs in the station announcing them
