Matt, I regret to say that I was far too young for remembering the old Chelsea area in much detail. My family moved from N.Y C. when I was still in grade school. We lived in the West Bronx (University and Kingsbridge) and only rarely would my father tote me along to his office on the lower West side. Like any kid, I recall some buildings, streets and landmarks with clarity, but over-all impressions are a blurr. I do recall the locomotives on the "High Line" were box cab electrics similar to an O gauge Lionel Trains model of the 1940's. To my knowledge, no steam was allowed in Mannhattan at all at a very early date. <br /> <br />I will be watching this topic with interest for any details that may cause a "knee-jerk" reaction to new information. Meanwhile, I will be doing research "on my own" for more memorabilia on that phase of the N.Y. Central in the City. My next stop was Kansas City, Mo. and childhood memories from this venue are far more vivid and lasting. Sorry, I couldn't be of any help here. Good hunting to all of you who are joining in this "quest." Regards.
