  The first fiteen years of my life were spent in the shadown of
  the Livonia Avenue Elevated (IRT) line in Brooklyn, followed by
  three years of going to school not more than 50 yards from the
  Third Avenue Elevated line in Manhattan (all in New York).

  You wanna' hear LOUD?  The IRT's Low-V trains, the BMT's
  Standards, and the Third ASvenue El trains were NOISY.  BART is
  whisper-quiet compared to them.
