He was in the REA building. Just saw a raggy dressed guy, and I got the hell outta there. How far have you been up in the tower? When were you at the terminal last?
I will be honored, Bill. I'll be at the clean up and you will know when you see me. I'll have a camera and I'll probably be wearing black. Or you can just yell my name, Ozzy. I'll maybe even have my grandpa with me. If you see a 15 year old dude with a tall older guy, that would be me.
Also fill free to ask me any questions about the terminal when you see me.
My best friends father works there. I've seen all the other carts. Going there tommorow to paint cart. At spring clean up maybe you could join our group on an "unofficial tour".
I never went up to the 17th floor. I bet my grandpa did. He worked there between 1955-1960. He saw all the cool engines like the Empire State Express, 20th Century Limited, and the famous Hudson engine. But he only saw them for only a little while because they took the steam engines out the same year he started working for the NYC Railroad. They were replaced with diesals. I prefer the old NYC Steam engines than the NYC Diesals.
I blame Tony Fedele for the down fall of the Terminal. If he decided to put alarms in the building, put a large fence around the primiter, and to leave the belt line bridge still standing, the place would be in perfect condition.
Good job Bill. I'm in the Boy Scouts and I plan to do my eagle project at the Terminal. Do you know there are a whole bunch of carts in the old employee parking lot. Just talk to Mike Miller or some other person that works there, they'll tell about them.
The baggage cart is in the hands of the CTRC, and will be in the Dyngus Day parade in April. Just to note we are restoring the "best"
cart. It has significant rot and there may only be 2other good ones.
Flal you are the coolest person on this site. I better see you at the spring clean up and I will personaly take you around the building. It is very easy to spot me, I'm 15 years old and I'll have a camera on me and I will be in the main concourse taking pictures.
I hope that they do not tear it down.
Someone should buy it and refurbish the place.
