Musical Youth-Pass the Dutchie 

Last week (August 6th), I rode on 3 of the new Xclesiors, two on the M101, and the other on the M102. I also rode another on the M101 on July 29th. I gotta say they're pretty good buses.

Interesting note, I got on a northbound M100 bus the Sunday evening of August 6th with family members on the way home after getting off the M102 in Harlem from a nice resturant on the Upper East Side, and the bus got crowded very quickly. It felt like as if it was rush hour. Seems the routes on 125th Street are used a lot.

Good to see the Xclesiors really trying out Manhattan. 

I think that 137th Street on the train needs a renovation. 

 

To the person who was stalking the yard the other day with a radio who tried to get passed the property protection agent to "work on the R179s" uhhhh yeah the police have been notified... smh

And on top of it it was the same guy who is ALWAYS creeping on the train too.

 

Some of yall will never learn..

 

 everyone at the yard hates these dudes. they need a life

 

and this Transportation Hub guy is still calling the yard too.. smfh man

Some folks need to chill out and be patient. It's just a train.  

I'm just patiently waiting for the R179's to go into service. 

It looked like this

 

I read on subchat a vintage train ran in service on the today to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Flushing Line. Shocked there wasn't more buzz about this.

I hope the Lo-V trip to Yankee Stadium goes well today.

Rode an R62 train yesterday on my way home from school. It was a good ride.

The train feels like the 1980s with the R62/62As. Just an interesting thought.

This is pretty cool stuff here. Good job on this.

I noticed that the IRT has a lot of stuff going on in terms of service changes.

Caught a Jamaica Nova LFS on the M100 yesterday. I notice that during snow storms, the depots look out for each other.

I noticed that the ERA used to run fantrips back in the day. It ended in 2002. Why doesn't the ERA do fan trips anymore?

Had to take the M100 and then the train to school today because the train was delayed. I wonder what happened this morning...

It's seems the R62A's aren't finished on the train yet despite of the end of it's use on the line being near.

The second avenue line is relieving the not the .

Continuing on the train...

The train was messed up this week. It was really, really messed up.

The train was crowded today on my way home today from school. It was also crowded yesterday too. Other than that, I am happy to see the first phase 2nd Avenue Subway doing well.

There is the train to 125th Street if a Bronx extension for the train were to ever happen...

It seems the MTA is putting that theme on a lot of buses... 

Map and brochure from opening day of the 2nd Avenue Subway.  

If a crosstown subway line under 125th Street is ever done, I hope the area of western Harlem is examined closely; the land there is a massive valley that was a mountainous place before it got ever developed, hence why the roads are like hills.

The stations are very nice, spacious. The art pieces are beautiful.

Man, yesterday was really, really nice. So many people, saw lots of well known faces. The stations were so crowded. The entire line was well done. Charlie Pellet was there earlier in the day (I came with my uncle much later). Man, what a day yesterday.

Can't wait for the first phase to open in the afternoon!

Please be civil if you're attending the first train to the Upper East Side, and be safe.
