In this Nov. 10, 1965 photo, commuters are helped up from railway tracks by police and firemen in the early morning hours after being trapped for nearly eight hours when a massive power failure hit the northeastern United States and parts of Canada 50 years ago. The commuters were on a northbound train from New York’s Grand Central Terminal when the blackout occurred, leaving approximately 750 passengers stuck at 153 Street and Park Avenue. (AP Photo)
