      If only it was the 90s when there were a lot of R32s and the R46 rebuilds were still under way.

      Take Fung Wah Bus or one of the other Chinatown buses instead.

      You're gonna enjoy it by rail, especially when it goes like 80 mph on the switches. You feel the train shake real fast.

      Thanks for the info on the buses, but as someone pointed out this time I want to enjoy a journey on the rails.

      I'm not understanding why they choose R42's though. ?.

      Equipment familiarization. If you work the extra list and just happen to be working the J/Z and it just so happens to be a 42... The same night, I also saw a R68 about two stations behind it.

  5. Any advice on what to bus to take in order to reach Philadelphia?

      Well I'm on the budget so bus was my only option. Greyhound website has some issues so I got Bolt instead.

      Thanks and enjoy the holidays.

      those photos you took of the (6) and <6> were awesome. It was hard to tell but did they turn the front sign to <6> when running it on the express or did they just leave it and turn the green rings to red

    3. Quill Depot

      I think they turned the rings. I can't wait until more come in.

  9. Ever had a nightmare about being on a train that crashes? I know I did

      So yeah in short im in the first car at Ocean Pkwy, then instead of going to Brighton Beach we move backwards and cross over to southbound track (even though there is no crossover) now I look in the direction of West 8 ans see that the train comes towards us at full speed. That train hits the last car, which is where I am. I fall to the floor and... wake up.

      wicked, the moral is, do not watch too much car crash compilation before going to sleep.

      The scariest transit dreams always involve me photographing something I want to in real life but I can't, for whatever reason. This should tell you where my priorities are in real life, lmao.

      I have transit dreams all the time, there was one where I was riding a G line that didn't exist, R68s that were retrofitted with electronic clocks inside and swing doors to cross cars. In the dream, I was sitting waiting for the G while it passed by right behind me, then when I went to cross cars, some hot girl held the door for me! God, I must be going nuts.

      Yes CIY does have a carwash, but I heard earlier that they use concourse as well. Ohh well its history now...

      Very much agreed, RTS. It takes so long just to dissassemble it and the only good part is the tail.

  12. Anyone knows why weld rail isn't used on elevated lines?

      N4 Via Merrick Rd

      i'm guessing for maintenance reasons

    3. overclocked

      overclocked

      Makes sense since the way they replace rails is by using pre-fabricated sections, but the thing about maintenance isn't satisfying since there are sections of weld rail everywhere but elevated. My thoughts are going into technical difficulties area, maybe elevated lines experience more stress thus weld rail breaks more often, or since its metal structure, maybe the expansion/contraction requires short sections of rail to accommodate it. It seems that this question is stuck with me for goo...

    4. Grand Concourse

      Grand Concourse

      well it seems you answered your own question. I think the open weather makes a big difference as far as the tracks expanding or contracting in the summer and winter.

      I remember once someone pulled the EMB on an R160 (Q) between Prospect Park and 7 Av. There were (Q) trains at Prospect Park, Parkside Av, Church Av, Newkirk Av, and Kings Highway. Some of them were running Brighton Express, on the WEEKEND.

      Thanks, about R9, I had problems too because I decided to experiment which screwed up almost all of the photos.

      and why do you say your photos are bad?

    3. overclocked

      overclocked

      Judging from last post, thus one has very few comments and even less likes, so I think that something wrong with the set. Perhaps people are tired of similar pics that I take.

    4. lilbluefoxie

      lilbluefoxie

      likes/comments is not indicative of skill, sometimes if you post things and other people post stuff a little bit after you, your thread gets pushed back. Happens a lot to everyone here.

      Well, we got dislike option not too long ago, I'm pretty sure there were and will be posts which will accumulate even more "dislikes" than this one. As for the guy, idk who that is and frankly couldn't care less.

      Lucky....I have a lot left: everything in the Bronx, 1 north of 96, Lex north of 59, Rockaways, R south of 59/4 Av, anything east of Sutphin Blvd

    3. Grand Concourse

      Grand Concourse

      your not missing much on the R or east of sutphin except for maybe 179th on the F. You should visit all three lex lines in the bronx and take the 1 to 242nd, they are worth it.
