RE: My Actifit Report Card: July 28 2019
Flip click lock door handle, have not seen one in many years, looks like it is brass with the green build up, nice find!
Markers along train tracks look old with the green on the wood, would be interesting to know which lines they were used for.
Keep walking, enjoy seeing your unusual finds.
I remember when those old door handles were common now they are few and far between this was on an old building downtown
The train line on those tracks are for the Metro North and New Haven Lines as well as Amtrak trains go through here
Line markers must be for the first two trains you mention, mile markers perhaps to next destination, the older trains. Would just love it if this country still had a good rail system, train travel was such fun!
I did a few train trips back home in NZ and in Europe it’s a fun way to travel and even with taking Ng the train n to NYC everyday I still enjoy it it’s far better than driving
We only used train travel as children (or bicycles) my Dad only got a car in 1970 when I was 15 years old.
Enjoyed travel on trains in South Africa into the mid 1980's, when moving to the coast the trains took ages to get into the city often stopped on the tracks for an hour, eventually bought a motor bike to commute, later a car.
Yes train travel is much better than driving (especially today with roads being so busy), unfortunately we no longer use trains due to safety issues.
Thinking back I cannot remember when my Dad got his first car, may have been around the same time but i am not sure
Sad that you cannot use trains anymore for safety reasons
