That front looks absurd.
I know they were desperate to get the Amtrak logo on there somewhere, but this is NOT the way.
Anyway, I love it.

New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) R46 no. 506 is seen on a test train at Fort Hamilton Pkwy Station on the BMT Sea Beach Line. The cars were built by Pullman-Standard in 1974 and 1975, thus putting the date of this slide around then. Undated slide, unknown photographer, Matt Csenge collection.
HOT DOG.
That BLUE!
Beautiful!

STEPNEY VISITS ARVERNE
by A. Griffin/ Super Train Station H
---------------------------------
From Sheffield Park so far away,
to the narrow stretch of Rockaway,
the young at heart count down the days,
till Stepney visits Arverne.
A tour spanning across the world,
bringing joy to every boy and girl,
now New York City gets its turn,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
The Bluebell Railway's long revered,
does blow her chime so all will hear,
and beyond its sound, is spread the cheer,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
Brightly the merry whistle tones,
beach rabbits scurry to their holes,
folks rush out from their bungalows,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
Long Island Rail Road right of way,
between the ocean and the bay,
will carry her throughout her stay,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
Backyards on Amstel Boulevard,
from there wave children from afar,
they see the engine working hard,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
Each of her cars, a wooden coach,
on streams of steel, away they float,
within the sight of canal boats,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
These tracks knew steam so long ago,
and reminded of the days of old,
the beachside rails do creak and groan,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
Subway cars get traction too,
watch Stepney pull R32s,
the silver cars glisten like new,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
The engine painted muted gold,
whispers with steam the stories told,
of escape from scrap, so brave and bold,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
The Jay Street Cargo Railroad yard,
meets the London South Coast Railway's star,
the Brukelen Bridge isn't so so far,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
Suited commuters, office bound,
are caught off guard by what they've found,
tank engine strength gets them around,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
Beach 67th needs crowd control,
when the famous train is due to roll,
perfect shots are the spotter's goal,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
Long Island multi-unit cars,
though motors rest, they travel far,
the engine takes them from the yard
when Stepney visits Arverne.
She brought the Pullman coaches too,
for dining pleasure on the move,
the bayside vistas set the mood,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
Not everyone's seen steam before,
but the magic they'll learn to adore,
from the "Floreat Vapor" ambassador,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
And off she goes,
all by herself,
to have adventures somewhere else,
but she came before,
and she'll come again,
and a few more seaside days she'll spend,
on the ocean line,
with the blue H sign,
when Stepney visits Arverne.
---------------------------------
Arverne is a neighborhood situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Jamaica Bay on New York City’s Rockaway Peninsula.
London Brighton South Coast Railway No. 55, “Stepney”, is a tank engine that was built in 1875 and now lives at the Bluebell Railway in England.
The artwork of Lunarian H (my own character) and Stepney in Arverne was provided by Keetah Spacecat.

In this view from April 22, 1956, a Fulton St E. This station, along with all others west of 80th St, would close permanently just four days after this photo was taken. The C Type trainsets were elevated car conversions built by the BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corp.) in 1922 and 1923, using older elevated cars. The end cars were former motor cars built in the first decade of the 1900s and the center cars were trailer cars from the previous century. The three cars were semi-permanently coupled with drawbars to make trainsets.

They must have been a sight .I'm just a bit too young to have seen them myself though I've put this old postcard up to remind us of the way things once were.......
I’ve never seen a tram of this particular profile before, and I absolutely love it.

Holland Railways - 2-4-0 steam locomotive Nr. 315 (Beyer Peacock Locomotive Works, Manchester-Gorton 1881) by Historical Railway Images
Via Flickr:
Thanks to the courtesy of Mr. Peacock, of the firm of Messrs. Beyer and Peacock, of Manchester, we are enabled to put publish above what may be regarded as the latest result of English engineering skill as applied to the production of high-speed locomotives. The engine is one of several built to work the fast trains which run from Flushing, across Holland, into North Germany, in oonnection with the steamers from Queenborough to Flushing, and they have been specially designed to maintain an average speed of sixty miles an hour with trains weighing 200 to 220 tons without the engine. It will be seen at a glance that the engine is of the simplest possible type ; there is not a superfiuous part about it. The wheelbase is very long, but the engine has been designed to work on a road nearly level and very straight, and the leading axle is provided with Cortazi's axleboxes, with a traverse of half an inch each way. The firebox is of the Belpaire type.Illustration by John Swain for "The Engineer" from March 04, 1881
