8thAveExpress

Hey all! I saw this yesterday on a Brighton express train. I forgot if it was an R68 or R68A. Anyway, I thought it was weird. It looks like it had a ripped bullet that was ripped in half with a bullet right behind it. Anyone know about this? Thanks!

I was walking in Times Square yesterday (I hate tourists... ugh!) And something caught my eye out of the window of the ASICS store on 42nd Street. They have a real MTA train inside the store! I want to say it's probably a R30. It's painted in silver with the blue racing stipe. It's cut in half, but it's basically untouched from the day it retired, with graffiti inside and outside the car, and they kept the old ads. They even left the chairs and straphangers. If anyone's interested, the address of the store is: 120 West 42nd Street (sorry if this was posted before- I didn't feel like reading through 832 pages of random thoughts!) Happy New Years, Mike

Go home Q90, you're drunk.

I had to go to Rockaway on Saturday, and I was lucky enough to catch an R42. What a ride that was! I was by the railfan window, and the train suddenly stopped by that small bridge between Howard Beach and Broad Channel. We were just stuck there and didn't move for at least 45 minutes. From what I could tell, the T/O couldn't communicate with the Conductor. The T/O left his booth and walked to the back of the train (to the conductor, I assume). While he was gone, someone decided to get out of the train and start walking to Broad Channel. Finally after over 45 minutes, the conductor got back and we started moving again. A few minutes later, I hear from the T/O's booth "What the f' is this n'er doing hitchhiking on the side of the tracks?" So we had to stop for another 10 minutes to get him back on the train. At Broad Channel, they took the train out of service, and the conductor said he was bringing the train into the shop. Hopefully they'll keep the 42s. As bad as that ride was, I love that railfan window!

I work in Jamaica, and I come from The City every day. Don't even get me started with the animals on the train, let alone the animals in Jamaica...

I like that! That way I don't have to have the ghetto folk grilling my shizznid while I'm waiting for my ...
