  1. the IRT headways are no better than the rest, yea the and are speedy but the and are slow once you get out to the ends of the system, theyre all 12 minutes on weekends
  2. isnt there like some chemical they can spray to get rid of em?
  3. Countries: Canada Israel South Africa Cape Verde Jamaica Bermuda Bahamas Grand Cayman Mexico Antigua USA: Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New York New Jersey Pennsylvania West Virginia Maryland Delaware Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Tennessee Georgia Florida Nevada Arizona Utah District of Columbia Puerto Rico US Virgin Islands
  4. Not sure, it just worked for me ^^;

  5. I hope they get the same motors as the R143 and R142A, those things have a great sound to them
  6. How come the last few stops on the are Entry only one side and Exit only the other side?
  7. its that one set thats in the Arch Street Shop platform which is near the Hunterspoint Ave Station
  8. what sorts of things are you looking for on the map?

  9. image stabilisation is a handy feature, USM is not a huge deal, its just a quieter, slightly faster focusing system that allows you in some models to adjust the manual focus without having to take it out of autofocus mode. if the aperature is below f2.8 you wont need image stabilisation, since the faster aperatures allow you to take pictures in low light with quicker shutter speeds therefore reducing the risk of camera shake.
  10. its like $94 so its not a budget buster, the 35mm f2 is around $300 so its more of a step to get it. theres a 28mm f2.8 thats around $200 but f2.8 may not be enough to get good underground shots.
  11. yea but isnt that a bit too much zoom for the subway stations?
  12. I have the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens, this week im going to bring it with me to the city to take photos, ill let you know how it works B)
  13. I use canon equipment so I dont know much about Nikkon but http://www.photozone.de/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/246-nikkor-af-s-55-200mm-f4-56g-if-ed-dx-vr-review--test-report this seems like a good one, the Nikkon 55-200mm lens, i have the canon equivilent, the EF-S 55-250mm lens, it works fine for me but I use it for aviation photography when I go to air shows, so I cant tell you how those telephoto lenses work in the subway.
  14. Theres plenty of other things to see railwise in the New York city metro area You can go catch 160s on the *giggles*
  15. hey, it was nice meetin ya on the R9 :)

  16. I wonder what the new 188 sets will sound like, will it be the "whoooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" that the 142A and 143 have or the "ahhhhhhhhhh eeeeeeeeeeee iiiiiiiiiiiiii eeeeeeeeeeeeee" the 142 and 160 have
  17. Yea but now its time for the big question What is the fate of the R62As on the ? When will that be confirmed?
  18. thats because the long island railroad and the express subway routes are faster than any express bus route. The express buses are at the mercy of whatever the traffic is on the road.

  19. I remember my first time on the subway, it was fun, the trains accelorated fast and decelorated and it was just the whole experience of going places fast.
  20. and at 1600 theres not even that much noise, ill have to give that a try in some of the darker IRT stations, thanks for the tip
