The NYCTA Holiday Nostalgia Train seems to be having some issues getting the doors closed as I stand outside of R1 #100, the first car built for the 1930's Independent Subway System, at 34th St/Herald Square on the 6th Ave Line.
The train was jam packed as the annual tradition of running the 1930's vintage rolling stock during the holiday season has broken containment as an activity for train nerds and is now attracting all sorts of people from swing era cosplayers to families looking for low cost entertainment.
