Two photos I took over the weekend at the WWI event in Newville, Pennsylvania, using a 1918 Tele-Graflex and glass dry plates, as used by U.S. Army Signal Corps photographers.
Just before 3 AM, a water main break in Times Square sent approximately 1.8 million gallons of water rushing into the subway, causing major disruptions on the 1/2/3 lines.

We're deeply grateful to our teams for their rapid response, and our riders for your patience during the difficult morning commute.
1/2/3 trains have resumed making regular stops, and we expect to have trains back on schedule by the evening rush hour.
It is with deep regret the UFA announces the WTC related death of retired FF Albert A. Filosa of L146. FF Filosa served our great Department for 20 Years.
