From Times Wire Reports
New York City opened a long-closed, vaulted subway station near City Hall, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg took the helm of a vintage train to mark the 100th anniversary of the subway system.
Passengers waiting for their regular trains gawked or glared -- depending on whether they were in a hurry -- as Bloomberg inched a restored 1917 train past several stations. Just short of Grand Central Terminal, he handed off the controls to other officials. The four-car train piloted by Bloomberg consisted of two 1917 cars and two 1925 cars.
