  As I related in nyc.transit at the time, I had a dream a couple
  of months ago that I was watching the unloading of "new" BART
  cars and they were brand-new BMT Standards [beautiful cars of
  1930s vintge which were the workhorses of the BMT well into the
  late 1960s].

  I woke up crying.  For real.  For the same money we could have
  had better.
