School pals, buskers and train workers also have a moment in the spotlight.
The pictures capture the network at a time when you were allowed to smoke and tickets were purchased from large machines for just a few pennies.

“It made taking photographs incredibly difficult, forcing Goldwater to function at the very limit of his film’s capabilities, but it gives his pictures a wonderfully brooding, unearthly cast.”
