    What, and north Brooklyn is is a wonderful place?

    It's the only instance left on the BMT, all the others were rebuilt after the city took over.

    Same with Myrtle-Broadway...

    That sounds just like the BMT....
  6. INDman
    You got that right... Nothing like a city owned subway.

    I was down there last month, that new track is in but it's not connected. The project seems to have stalled a bit and the lot it runs though is still filled with cars

    Since 1967, it's hard to really categorize a line on the B Div. like ( etc. as IND or BMT. While there still are some lines that you can do that to, IDing a line (Brighton, Fulton, etc.) as IND or BMT is the only way you can really label a line by it's former company. I have always like the IND, it wasn't until I was in high school that I really ever used the BMT. To this day I usually don't use that BMT and I never really have a need for the IRT.

    Wrong, the line south of Church Av is BMT, the Culver line was part of the 5th Av El. The ( and lines are BMT once they go south of Grand street and onto the Manhattan Bridge. The IND system only had two lines from Manhattan that served Brooklyn, the Fulton St subway and the Smith St line to Church Av.

    Actually it's very true. Look at all the tight turns on the BMT and IRT where trains have to crawl though the area. The IND was built for speed since it learned form the mistakes of the previous two companies.

    Never mind, I got it.

    Actually, the last time I saw 103 it looked better then that and that was after that photos was taken.
  13. INDman
    It's a shame what 103 looks like right now.

    That is one ugly car....

    Only the Redbirds and the R32-42 cars were ever reefed and that program is DONE due too the cars falling apart faster then expected on the ocean floor. Prior to the redbirds being reefed, all scrap cars were taken down to the docks and either scrapped there or floated to NJ for scrapping. The R44s will be trucked, one car a day out of 207th St. to NIMCO, just outside of Newark by truck.

    You think they don't already know....

    I'd take a photo of my room just to show how much crap I have, but there is too much stuff I don't want people to see.

    I just started getting N scale trains, I'm running out of shelfs to put them on.
  19. INDman
    Got enough tech sh!t there?
  20. INDman
    Even at that price, that's two pairs of boots for me. I don't even know where my dress shoes are and that reminds me I got to friend them for when I bar tend in the morning.
  21. INDman
    $415.00 for some shoes... If I had your money, I'd throw mine away.
  22. INDman
    I have seen even odder combinations of equipment before. While an R44 and an R46 can couple up, you risk rupturing the brake pipe on the R46 when you try and chagre up the train.
  23. INDman
    That's what it was, the R68s were going to have ones like buses have under the front sign but that never happened. An idea I have heard of being floated around was that on the NTTs there would be a slot on the cab doors for C/R to put their badges.
