Links about History in New York

At heart what is presented here is history you can explore first-hand for yourself.

This page is from my old section about New York City. Some of cross links will no longer work. Also, some links may be dated. When I have a chance I'll clean away the old links.

There is much about the subway's predecessors -- the 19th century experimental ideas, the elevated lines, and the Brooklyn BRT. Political aspects are included in the stories. The video is fast paced and includes many nice vintage photographs. I can recommend this for young people, especially those interested in trains.

• Holiday Model Trains at the CITICORP Building
During the Christmas holiday season New York has a special holiday model train display at the Citicorp Building (at E.53rd Street and Lexington Avenue). From Thanksgiving through the first few days into the new year it is set up in the building's lower atrium. The layout represented times and places of New York State's history. Also, each section of the layout is modeled for one of the four seasons. Three scales of trains (O, S and HO) run through the whole layout. Plus there are over a dozen trains that run on individual sections. For the year 2000 holiday season the train display was set up at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. Starting in 2001 it is back in New York again. The entrance to the Citiorp Building atrium can be reached directly from the Lexington Avenue & 50th Street subway station that serves the E, F and 6 lines. You can read more about the display at the link below.
