  5. Some of the interior photos I have seen: http://www.subchat.com/read.asp?Id=1222908 http://www.subchat.com/read.asp?Id=1222938 http://www.subchat.com/read.asp?Id=1222966
  6. I have seen a couple of photos of the interior of the one car with a piece missing. some of the seating was ripped from the floor, and interior pieces if the walls/ceiling had fallen. Lots of spaces to search
  7. The PCSO has been using these for several months now. This the first one I have been able to photograph (with my cell phone). Looks sharp
  8. Wonder how much they have spent the last 5 years on re-lettering all their equipment. Maybe they should get velcro, like some EMTs/Paramedics do on their uniforms.
  9. Sounds like it is more than just this one incident. Looking at some of the different news articles out there, I get the feeling that the chief likes to sit back and watch, and as one article mentions "shield himself from immediate accountability." http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/05/14/letter/YD3JiMRNMClVbEak3bbsjP/story.html http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/05/deputy_chiefs_declare_no_confidence_in_boston_fire_chief
  10. Another unknown FDNY Tower Ladder meets its fate a Brookfield. With the single front jack, it looks to be one of the 1994-1997 Baker/Saulsburys
  11. The cop is a "Queens Marine" They are not that smart!
  12. This weekend Metro North, as part of its year celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Grand Central Terminal held a Parade of Trains. Various locomotives and cars that have been used in the past by predecessor railroads such as the New York Central railroad, and equipment used today were on display. First up was this Electro Motive Diesel FL-9, ordered by the New Haven Railroad in 1960. It was painted into New York Central colors in 1999 to celebrate 150 years of the Hudson River Railroad. It was retired in in 2000 and donated to he Danbury Railway Museum Next was ACMU 1171 Air Conditioned Multiple Unit, originally ordered by the New York Central in 1962 from the Pullman Standard Co. Th ACMUs were retired in 2004. Here is a view of the operators controls, which seem primitive when compared to todays equipment
  13. Thanks everyone! They were letting in purses, diaper bags,and bags that were strictly for photography. I heard that the "No backpacks" rule was to prevent damage to the insides of the private cars, which have narrow hallways
  14. Like I said before, has the government paid for security for any other criminal? No. Let the family pay for it. The most I could find was one website that claimed Timothy McVeigh was transported out of the federal prison where he was executed by an unmarked prison van, after a hearse from a local funeral home made a fake pick up. No mentions of extra security. McVeigh was a far bigger terrorist than this jerkoff. EMS is a different story. If he could have been taken alive, that would be a different story.
  15. Let the local mosque secure the POS. I still do not think the government should have to pay for it. Did the government pay to protect the funeral home for any other criminal? Timothy McVeigh?, Jeffery Dahmer? I dont think any protection was given to those funeral homes. Release the body to the funeral home. Tell them to pick it up in an unmarked, unassuming vehicle. Cremate, then flush, whatever. Not our place to pay for it.
  16. No. Should have been sent to "Potters Field" or wherever else they send dead people who can't be identified or afford a burial place.I would say bill the family, but they are already on the public dole. No need to provide security for the dead body, no one wants it.
  17. MTA PD command post outside Parting shot of Grand Central Terminal
  18. The Transit Authority also ran part of its museum fleet on the Time Square shuttle Car 9306,a R-33 Worlds Fair built in 1963 Car 6239, a R-15 built in 1950 and Car 5760, a R-12 built in 1948
  19. The last car on display was the "Montana", built in 1947 for the Milwaukee Road's 'Olympic Hiawatha". The interior Detail in the woodwork http://www.railcarmontana.com/
