Talk about a trip on the wayback machine. AOL 5.0?!

For me it's Top Gear on BBC America. When that show comes on, whatever I'm doing stops.

T/O's have to gain seniority and pick a yard trick at 207th Street Yard. C/R's can work anywhere, but you've gotta know the right people. Training is done on your own time, without pay. Oh, and you've gotta wait until one of the regulars either decided to not do it anymore, takes a promotion, or retires. Good luck on that part.

Nice supervision? Gotta be the weather.
Yeah, she came up here to WP; Main St wasn't working out too well for her. I'm glad as now we can carpool and cut our toll and gas costs in half, every little bit counts! Maybe one day you'll be able to stop by.

Just a quick hello. I see my pick lady moved up to WP. Called her this afternoon to pick, after she called my partner to tell us she moved from Main St. I was on vacation last week in NC so I never saw the call sheets or work program. I was in MAC 3 this morning and got out(thanks to Dr. Levin the redhead hippie) and ran up to VC to look at the board before I called WP. Would have loved to come up there and see her and check out how you keep things in order up there. She's kept my C/R and me together for as long as she's been in the pick department. She was our yard dispatcher before that so the 3 of us have been together going on 15 years or so. BTW the cowboy at right to know even cut me some slack this am. WTF happened in the last week? Nice supervision???

With all due respect, I wouldn't bother them with such a frivolous request; they are quite busy where they work and do not need me meddling into their affairs. The
designation of the line has only existed since the late 1950's so there is nothing historical about it. Now if we were talking about the elimination of the actual elevated line, then you would have a point. Also if the designation had had some sort of historical significance, then there could be an argument; however, Duke Ellington did not write "Take the Train".Personally, IF this plan were to be implemented, I would be in favor of the
designation simply because it would be easier to notify the thousands of people who use the line between Marcy Ave and Metropolitan Ave of the relettering and the new route scheme than it would be to do the same on Queens Blvd with 1+ million riders per day. -
Since you work close to the big guys, I would strongly recommend the
cut the instead of the and run the up Queens Blvd. the is one of the longest running Subway route (in time-span) and it became one of the main sights and routes of the . If the is cut, it would be a history lost. As well as the designation is already looks like a 'flex-route' so I would rather have the as a designation. -
Pick Your Best Transit Photo - One (1) Photo only

Dude, you totally broke the rules of the thread. Your best photo means your best ONE photo. Which one of those would you consider to be your best ever? -
