Re: W.B.'s Rail Almanac for November 12th

That Columbus Circle pic . . . the building at right (beneath the Coca-Cola sign) was home to the bus station for the Baltimore & Ohio's train connection, travelling via CNJ ferries to Jersey City through 1958.

The building itself - 7 Central Park West - was also, from the mid-1950's to 1965, the home of 1010 WINS, from its Top 40 heyday (and the likes of Alan Freed holding court) to its early months of providing "all news, all the time." (By the time of the Nov. 9-10, 1965 blackout, though, they'd already moved everything to 90 Park Avenue.)
