Jamaica Line

You know it's gettin' warm when you start hearing the HVAC units on blast...

Yep saw that one about a few weeks ago I was like "Oh Sh......"

 

Glad nobody got hurt. Can you imagine how many tons that weighs?

For real... I'm guessing between 150-200 tonnes...

Wonder who's to blame...

lmao damn... Brand new locomotive hits the floor hard

My first random thought:

Don't you love it when you have a disagreement/arguement with a forum member and not a month later they start replying to and liking your posts. Damn, can't you maintain a stance?

 

My second random thought:

Damn, it's been raining heavily all throughout today. I live next to a drainage canal and it flooded and eventually overflowed into the street. I actually walked through my neighbors yard so I wouldn't have to walk in the flood water. At the very least my house is at a higher elevation than the street.

Unless they're liking the same argument they disagreed to then I don't see that as not having a stance or in another word, a backbone... If anything it shows maturity. It's just an argument, people get over that stuff...

Anyway I was bored and googled random thoughts that came to mind... African models eventually came to mind and I came across this...

Beautiful.

Horrible way to go... Looked like he paused in fear the second before the train hit him. Can't really tell thou it looks like an NS locomotive.

Heard the engine of that locomotive btw? Well in advance you heard that thing coming... That's what a real train sounds like!

This guy's real nice. Funny too.

Some of those passengers need to loosen the f@%k up btw. God damn smile, turn your head with curiosity and watch, you know you want to... 

U.S. Homeland Security ordered 1.4 Billion rounds of ammunition last year...

wtf are they trying to get prepared for?

Really startin' to get hooked to watching these Jersey dances... Can't help it a lot of the mixes sound sick...

dude at 1:40 killed it. Only part I actually like anyway.

Found something worth posting...

Didn't want to make a thread for such a small question but is there an official term for that howling sound you'd hear as a long freight consist picks up speed? Love that sound...

Here's a perfect example... Start at 1:50

nvm image failed to load...

I swear you'll slowly start to lose interest in subway trains once you watch a mile long freight consist pulled by 16 ft tall, 200 ton plus locomotives. Standing about 15 ft from the tracks I can feel the vibration from the loud powerful engines. One of the best parts was hearing the very loud blasts of the horn.

The heavy tint of the locomotives windows and dark paint scheme makes them seem somewhat more intimidating...

This was via CSX railroad btw.

Lets get it !! 0:38-42 too smooth

That bridge...

My generation's version of "real" R&B music... Good classic:

This song got me reminiscing the summer...

"da boys be mobbin' in Flatbush"

But for real thou, on Church from Kings Hwy to E18th there wouldn't be about three blocks without an officer on post. Sometimes you'd see them in groups of about seven (going to their post I guess?)

A decent number of them are women too... And a few of the women are short at that... Who the hells gonna take them seriously?

sick old school beat

The 160s has to be America's most sophisticated subway train. Anyone disagree?

Man the can really pick up speed around Ralph n/b but along comes the timers...

Back to good ol' shitty latest generation music

Starting to see a few hipsters as far as Church 'n Nostrand...

I swear they try so hard with the pace walking, trying to follow the stereotypical fast-walkin' New Yorker.

The decided not to be the timer express on Fulton Street, hit 35-38 MPH b/w Hoyt and Nostrand...

 

Operator must've braked at some point or it was a really slow set. I remember hitting 46 mph with an operator that braked in the station. This was a few years ago on a 32.

 

You like that? Back in 6th grade I hated it. Since I had two classes classes with the same teacher he used that as an excuse to not give a passing period. Not that I really needed one, but dude was a prick and I had to get away from that environment. Beside, I like some variety in my life.

 

I should add that I did take one regardless. He threatened to complain to the staff, I threatened to complain to the board. Nothing was said regarding the issue the rest of the year.

 

True. I hate having double periods souley because I hate being in one classroom for so long. As for having classes right next to each other - nah, just too boring not being able to walk the halls a bit before entering class.
