You're a Computer Science major? I hope it's going well, I am studying that too...

The R160 trains becoming a phenomenon, everyday since the started using the R160 cars a couple of days ago, everyone with their cameras just to take photos...

Oh boy, I'm really sorry to know about that. Just don't listen to them, you can keep taking as much photographs as you like, you're doing a great job on them. If they don't know the rules, then don't bother. I can't believe railfans are under so much scrutiny and suspicion just for taking photographs, like we have sinister plans. That's not right.

However, for me it's the opposite, whenever I take photographs of subway cars, the workers often close the doors in the train, all of them, while I take photos of the car inside. They let me be. I had over 15 police officers pass by me, with one asking "Why are you taking photographs, buddy?" I replied "I just want to show these photos to my friends, he's like "Okay go take photos, but don't go trespassing into restricted areas, okay." I said, I won't.

Still I take precautions as to what goes on and watch out for those working meanies, never ran into them, but there's a good chance I will. Railfan for life

You know, taking photographs is fun, but recently I've been weary of taking them near police officers for some reason, because of the same reasons that you're going through, suspicion. I'm not worried so much about transit workers observing me taking photos, they help me out occasionally with photo taking as well.

Yep, there's a lot of people who like to talk about things that go off-topic recently that ends up becoming flame wars recently. I don't know why, but people have to be mindful about what they say or post.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, wishing you nothing but the best!

Okay, that's fine, you don't have to like the Mets. The train is the shortest IRT line in the system, never mind the 42nd Street Shuttle.

Happy Birthday,wishing you all the best!

You guys are having a railfan trip, in March? That should be a nice fun day for you guys!

Happy Birthday, buddy, wishing you all the best, well it's midnight, so it's one day late, sorry. I hope it was a fun one!

I was in Boston to visit someone, right now I'm back in New York City. The MBTA light rail service is great!

It's back to the big chill here in New York, right now it's about 18 degrees here, and in Boston, just 7. The Northeast has been underneath a big bitter chill this month. I would rather be in Texas right now in terms of the weather these days. It's good to know you're doing fine there.

Hey, how's it going, I hope all is well in Texas.

You are a fan of the train, I remember you telling me that back in our high school days!

Hey, just wondering, how many R160A trains are on the ?

Cool Profile photo, that train's looking cool, the windows give that train an airy feeling.

Wow that's something. When do you suppose the will get R160 cars in revenue service, when it's not a test train?

R42's are good on the , it will be a while before the R42's are gone for good.

All right, Lets go ! Don't worry about others looking at you with suspicion it's none of their business anyway.

Oh man, those officers are really suspicious of everything, these days. Oh yeah, I'm a Mets fan. The Yankees are a good team too, but I like the Mets better.

Your photographs are very good, I hope nobody around is suspicious of you photographing those train cars.

Hey, how's it going? Your profile picture is really funny! Anyways that's a good one.

The NTT announcements are reliable. I'd say with the R46 cars, their announcements are not really clear, the R68 cars do have a bit of a similar issue, that's why I prefer the R160 cars on the (Q)and rather than the R68 and R68A cars.

Some people are looking at you like you're strange when taking subway photos, but anyways you're getting better at taking photos. Keep up the good work!
