Q113 LTD

So I was walking towards Beach 36th St station this morning & saw two birds on the staircase. So why not take pictures....

I had weird dreams sometimes you know, like the having most of the R68's. Now this is not a dream what I am about to tell you. Just the past few days when I was riding the , a man was sitting at the seat near the door, turned around and spit on the floor in front of the door. Nasty and gross. I saw another guy put his bottle of soda on the floor and left the train like it's all cool. I saw another guy spit on the staircase at Grant Av as he left the train. Why do some people have to be so f**king disgusting. I hate people that vandalize MTA properties or other things too. I am glad the the MTA are renovating the stations but when the stations soon be open, it will eventually get vandalize. 88 St-Boyd Av Manhattan bound still has the dents on the wall and it's been there for months. At Rockaway Blvd, Lefferts Blvd or Rockaway bound still has writing on the black storage box(or gray box I think) in front of the station. Beach 67th St Manhattan bound has writings too on the storage box in front of station and the MTA worker had to repaint the box and someone wrote on it again and it's still there.

I know everyone hates wikipedia(because anyone can edit) but according to the site, 1008, 1015 and 1019 are retired. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassau_Inter-County_Express

I got some good bus action I took last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6m_CBPmBr0

I spotted a R188 test train at Broad Channel today. R188 #7520-7929-7519-7518-7517-7516. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH_HIeRGrCo

So I took two pictures while waiting for my train to arrive at Rockaway Blvd. What a raining day.

I know this sounds like a dumb question but this Wednesday, after I finish my classes, I am going to Best Buy at 23rd Street & 6 Av to pick up an item. I haven't been there in years and I know my way around. I know I have to take the or at Chambers St & get off at West 4th Street to catch either the or to 23rd Street. When I do go home, I will obviously have to take the or back to West 4th Street & transfer to the . If the arrive at the station, I will take it to West 4th St & transfer to the . But if the arrive at the station instead, would it be better to take it & get off at Jay Street-Metro Tech & catch the there or at West 4th Street?

Does some D60HF in Manhattan still has those digital side ads or they are gone long time ago?

Blindspot is awesome. That scene when they were on the train was the scene from the Money Train. Some tv shows nowadays use some scenes from movies and put them in the show. The show that I remember watching was CSI: Cyber season 2 episode 11 "404: Flight Not Found" when the passenger plane was about to approach the runway, it showed the plane landing scene from the movie Air Force One.

MTA falling behind on Second Avenue Subway, consultant says The is falling further behind on the Second Avenue Subway project, which is slated to open in December this year, according to independent consulting company McKissack. The project, which will add a much-needed new subway route on the Upper East Side, is delayed in installing power underground, which is needed to start tests for the new stations. The said it will use temporary power so tests can start earlier, and that it is creating a new accelerated schedule to catch up on construction work and finish the line by the end of the year. “We recommend that the schedule should be detailed with weekly checkpoints as we go forward in our last year, so we can keep up to date with any issues that are being developed,” said consultant Kent Haggis. His company McKissack was hired by the to monitor the project. The Nos. , and on the Lexington Avenue lines have the highest ridership of any train line in the country.

I remember last year when I rode the and most people took pictures of the loop-pole. It was my first time seeing it, plus I rarely take the that much. At least more people can hold on the pole.

So I am watching ABC7 and they said that Buses will be suspended beginning at 12pm today.

I notice that MBTA 1800 series(built from 1993-94) has the same exterior LCD sign like you see on the R46 but shorter and was built by Bombardier.

Any chance NICE plan on putting side ads soon on XN40's?

You know the abandoned upper level platform at Myrtle Avenue-Broadway, what other lines would it connect to if the rest of the Myrtle Avenue Elevated wasn't demolish?

I was watching Blue Bloods and in the episode "Back in the day", one scene showed two detectives in the patrol car watching a person getting on the bus and the bus was a older model of the C40LF. I couldn't tell what number the bus was.
