This thread is for putting in good railfanning locations near NYC, and any other info. Preferably use something like this format: Location Name How far from NYC? What town/county/borough Accessible by public transport? Which railroad(s)? Which line(s)? Especially good times of day to see trains (Optional) I'll start! Manitou Station 1-1.5 hrs Manitou, Putnam County, NY MNRR Hudson Line on weekends only MNRR, CSX, AMTK Hudson Line All day

Create a new IRT line—bullet pink (15A)/(15B) Woodlawn - 238 St Perry Av/Gun Hill Rd Norwood - 205 St Bedford Park Blvd/Webster Av (Botanical Garden) Fordham Plaza Fordham Rd/Grand Concourse Fordham Rd/Jerome Av Fordham Rd/University Av ***TRAINS SPLIT HERE*** (15A) trains: Fordham Rd/Sedgwick Av 207 St/10 Av Dyckman St/10 Av 193 St/Ft George Av 188 St/Amsterdam Av 181 St/Amsterdam Av 175 St/Amsterdam Av 168 St/Amsterdam Av 163 St/Amsterdam Av 155 St/Fredrick Douglass Blvd 148 St 145 St 135 St/5 Av ————————— (15B) trains: 183 St/University Av Burnside Av/University Av Tremont Av/University Av 174 St/University Av 170 St/Ogden Av 167 St/Ogden Av 164 St/Ogden Av Yankee Stadium 142 St/5 Av 135 St/5 Av ***TRAINS MERGE HERE*** 125 St/5 Av 116 St/5 Av 110 St/5 Av 102 St/5 Av 96 St/5 Av 89 St/5 Av 84 St/5 Av 79 St/5 Av 72 St/5 Av 65 St/5 Av (build a station at 63 St/5 Av, connect here) 59 St/5 Av 53 St/5 Av 48 St/5 Av 42 St/5 Av Run along line express to Junction Blvd 34 Av/Junction Blvd Astoria Blvd/Junction Blvd Laguardia Airport

the Bronx would be a connector to LGA. It would also serve as a connector to the Bronx Zoo from the trains, instead of only walking from the trains.

Here is another batch of proposals: Make woodhaven blvd on QBL an express stop Create a crosstown on 59 St Create a LGA running from Astoria-Ditmars , through Laguardia Airport, to Jackson Heights - Roosevelt Av Create an opeating as follows: Kingsbridge Rd (build a passageway to Fordham Plaza Belmont - Arthur Av Bronx Zoo (Southern Blvd/Bronx Pk S) W Farms Sq 174 St/Bronx River Av Elder Av Morrison Av/Story Av Soundview Av/Randall Av Laguardia Airport

There should ABSOLUTLEY be a Livionia-Junius to transfer

Extend the out along Nothern Blvd to Little Neck Extend the up 10 Av to 72 St Make stops on Roosevelt Island for the and Extend the up 21 St, then as a crosstown on 125 St Make a tram that would operate as follows: Riverside Park - 96 St Bway - 96 St CPW - 96 St 5 Av - 96 St Lex Av - 96 St 2 Av - 96 St RUN DOWN YORK AV 90-92 Sts 86 St 79 St 72 St York Av - 63 St (Build a connection with York Av - 59 St (Build a connection with Sutton Pl - 53 St (Build a connection with 46 St/1 Av - United Naions

No, I mean railfanning thst you can get to easily from the city, whether it be by bus, subway, MNR, LIRR, NJT, PATH, whatever.

Out of NYC, maybe? I was wondering if I could see MNR AND freight trains

Does anybody know any EASILY ACCESSIBLE places to railfan within 1.5 hours of NYC that have RELATIVELY FREQUENT service? MNR, LIRR, Amtrak, freight, I'm fine with all!

So it is legal for the ? is the legal at city hall

Is it still legal to take the through the City Hall loop and the (on weekends and nights) through the South Ferry loop? Also, is there a way to go through the OLD south ferry station on the ?

Today I was waiting for the M5 at 72 St/West End, had just ran to make the transfer from the M57, and the driver saw me running, I was waving the bus down, and he just breezed by the stop. We then had to wait *16 min* for the next M5. Bus #4233 M5 Northbound 72 St/West End Av

Sorry, i meant R62As. Yes the runs 62s.

Why so far south? And what is the is not running? You know how crazy the is about service changes and whatnot.

When will the R62/As be replaced with the R262s? Also, are the R62s going to get replaces with R142/As then R262s, or R62s to R262s with no R142s. also, is the the only train to run the R62s?

Hi all, Soon, I will have to be commuting from northern Roosevelt Island to the Columbus Circle area. I was wondering what the best route is. I also posted this in the Bus topic. Thanks!

is the Q22 MTA Bus or NYCT? And do the Q22 and Q35 run Orion OG Hybrids or NGs

bus 4431

I just saw on BusTime an Orion NG on the SIM1C. It popped off before I could get a screenshot though.

about 10 am

Yes, but where would it be deadheading to?

no i'm serious...

Today, I saw a BxM bus (I think it was a BxM1) coming off the Henry Hudson Pkwy at Dyckman St, except MTA buses are not allowed on the Henry Hudson Pkwy. What happened?
