Some Love for Smith-9th Under Construction

[Fred G 63]

Before I arrived at the Transit Museum I visited Smith-9th to see the extent of construction. Exiting the portal after Carroll Street, I

 

saw the express tracks are removed until about somewhere on the curve on the Culver Viaduct. The newly erected barricades have changed the

 

landscape of the station in terms of the view. This isn't to gripe as they are vital to worker safety and train operation.

 

 

 

 

 

Intermission, of sorts, here as I attended the TM fan trip.

 

After the R9's cruised by the sun began to peek out so I stayed at Smith-9th for a while. I wanted to see more R160's and the light kept

 

getting better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking. Here is the album these photos came from Enjoy!

Thanks Mark. It's all about keeping the shutter speed as high as you can to eliminate blur.

Thanks, I love that sign as an old-NYC artifact. I hope they preserve it as an historic item.
