  1. New avatar to match my username!

  2. TwoTimer would you mind PM'ing me a schedule of your trains? I'd like to be on one of them and possibly ask you if I could see how you operate.
  3. Man VG8 you must be swiping your MetroCard half to death!
  4. I think it may be that people are feeling awakward crowded next to complete strangers and would prefer not to speak. That's how I feel during the rush hour in the subway.
  5. My random thoughts: R68A #5038 has a poster advertising the Court Square and Jay Street-MetroTech transfer, but it shows an orange . On the local in Brooklyn today, a lady who was to slow to decide and get off at Sheepshead Bay got her leg caught in the door, and scolded by the conductor.
  6. The R160s are fast, they have reached 53 miles per hour on the northbound stretch between Prospect Park and Seventh Avenue.
  7. Interesting perspective. As for my '93 subway map, I'm considering placing it under lock and key, along with my '06 Brooklyn bus map.
  8. Tomorrow I will be an offical graduate of PS 206 Joseph F. Lamb School. yay

  9. yeah, that's true. I remember on a G.O. train, it hit about 54 mph between Kings Hwy and Newkirk Plz.
  10. A random thought: Yesterday I acquired a June 1993 map showing the Broadway BMT side of the bridge closed, the to 168th Street, a blue , a <A>, to 21st Street-Queensbridge, to Forest Hills and Queens Plaza, the , and the Cortlandt Street station open. And that was all in one sentence. But why? The 8th Avenue express is a lot faster than the .
  11. Okay this stomachache is getting pathetic. I think I will see the doctor tomorrow.

  12. The Manhattan Bridge should be renamed to the Timer Bridge. They have so many timers, you can do about 22 on there. I've also been on an R40 that went 55 on the W4-34 stretch.
  13. Check this out, an interesting video aimed at those who don't know what the Emergency Brake should be used for:
  14. The 4 Avenue Express heading northbound is usually pretty fast, I'd make a rough average estimate of 47.6.
  15. Actually, the R160s are designed for up to 55 mph. I think once I was on one that reached 56, but I don't recall the line or area. Go PM him, or if you don't have that little envelope icon at the top of any page, I could always do it for you upon request.
  16. I think they protect the crossover and the West End Line switch. TwoTimer works the , ask him.
  17. Holy crap, I clicked on the link of Q23's signature and I get this: And it goes on.
  18. I was once on an R160B that hit 52 mph on the stretch between Prospect Park and 7th Avenue.
  19. Nasty stomachache. Keep taking a dunk in the bathroom, but it just comes back and back.

  20. In 10 years, I'm hoping I'll be in an R160 cab, and feeding insider information to the members here.

  21. I hate the R160A propulsion.WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....who the hell could stand that for an hour in a tiny cab. I bet quite a few Eastern Division T/O's have invested in a pair of quality earplugs.
