When I was 6 months old, we moved into an upstairs apartment in a two-family house that had been designed for gas lights. The lights had already been converted to electricity before we moved in. Though I was too young to remember moving in, I do remember that we were always afraid that those converted fixtures hadn’t been fully sealed and gas could leak out. There was a big coal furnace in the basement and dad used to shovel the coal to keep the house warm. Dad also used to drive me out to see where the big coal-fired railroad engines were decoupled and replaced by oil-fired engines for the ride into New York City – because the coal polluted too much to allow the old steam engines to puff their way into the city. And I also remember the pantographs and the electric engines that pulled many of the passenger trains. As a child, I loved the big muscular steam engines but the engines that rolled by our house were much more modern and much cleaner.
