Below is the interior of a restored Brooklyn Union Elevated Car (#1404 to be precise!) from 1907 housed at the New York City Transit Museum. I find it hard to believe these were actually in service up until the late 1960's, with modifications in the way of paint color and interior fixtures. It's at that point that the beloved gray/orange combo notoriously associated with public transit came in to play. It's an obvious shame.
