Patrick......thank you so much!
This vignette evoked very special memories for me.
In the East/Central Bronx, along East Tremont Ave, north of an apartment development called Parkchester (where the Bronx DMV is now), the New Haven Line into the HellGate Bridge ran. On the site of the future DMV was a small freight yard. We (my Dad, uncles and myself) would go there to buy our trees off the boxcars. I had to be very young (maybe about 4-7 and consequently, 1956-60). What I remember are the boxcars selling trees; cold and snow; colored Christmas lights strung up on 2x4s; and, 55 gallon drums with crackling fires to keep everyone warm.....
Thank you, again!
Peter

Thank you for sharing your good memories, Peter!! Merry Christmas
