All aboard!: Prohibition-era train steams onto New York subway for
1920s TV series
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

It was once the cutting edge of metropolitan travel. For more than 50
years the vintage train has been in retirement. But now the
Prohibition-era engine is to ride the rails once again- to promote a
new TV series set in the glamorous 1920s.

Great photos. But 'engine,' 'steams,' surely train?????

Love to see some footage on YouTube.

The style of the train looks really familar to me since it was retired only
in 1960. I didn't notice the fans in the ceiling but the rubber on the
doors used to have a signed painted on them in red, vertically, "Hands Off."
