Joe Posted November 24, 2010 Share #51 Posted November 24, 2010 There's nothing inherently wrong with going OOS at 47-50; the only thing is that if it takes longer than expected, it could wreak havoc on the 6th Ave locals as well as the Culver.

BroadwayExpress Posted November 24, 2010 Share #52 Posted November 24, 2010 Take a photo of the train at a local station like 14th or 23rd Street and you should be fine. As for foamers I could care less about them. I just hope no one does anything stupid on the train like some moron (who will remain nameless) did last year on the last day of the Arnines.... which was?

I see where you're getting at. The holiday train did (and still does) attract more people whereas for the Rockettes special that ran last year only a few people came.

I take it you never rode the Lo-Vs for the Yankees, that train get emptied out fast. There will be alot of people on the Arnines to make sure people get off right away.

There will be alot of people on the Arnines to make sure people get off right away. I was on the Lo-V Yankee trip...the whole thing too. While covered in foam (much to the dismay of one motorman...), it wasn't as bad as the Arnine trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted November 24, 2010 Share #59 Posted November 24, 2010 I might show up for a 1/2 trip like last year. I'm surprised the foamers don't charge non-foamers $5 to stand at the RFW. I sould do the complete opposite...charge foamers $5 to stand at a RFW B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriston Lewis Posted November 25, 2010 Share #62 Posted November 25, 2010 If you're taking a sabbatical from your bathtub or shower, please be kind enough to spray yourself with Febreze or wear a car Air Freshener (or a lit incense stick) around your neck. Your fellow railfans and customers will appreciate it. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T to Dyre Avenue Posted November 25, 2010 Share #69 Posted November 25, 2010 Glad to hear the nostalgia train will be riding again this year and I will be on it just as I've been for the past three years. I'm glad they're doing it again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The holiday train did (and still does) attract more people whereas for the Rockettes special that ran last year only a few people came. That's because the Rockettes special was much less publicized and only announced shortly before, so fewer people knew about it. The holiday train is a much more publicized event. And yes, as others have mentioned they will get that train fumigated quickly when the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Young+ Posted November 25, 2010 Share #73 Posted November 25, 2010 For those of you who want a 'sneak peak' of what Sunday will bring, then this is for you: http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/12/17/nostalgia.train/index.html#cnnSTCVideo Enjoy and Happy Holidays! I plan on being there this Sunday, the 5th and the 26th (not the 12 & 19 because of a blood donation and preparing for final exams). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
