When I enter NYCTM, there was guided tour, so I joined tour. Sometimes I like to join tour, that was my first time on tour at transit museum, then after tour ended, I quickly went to to restroom, which was almost like subway restroom, dirty on restroom floor, took pic of LIRR 175th Anniversary photo right way, then rush to front lobby for last 15:30 because I miss the first half part.

Firework wasn't until 20:15, but as I was eating snack, I saw firework started 19:30. I did not have time because my cell phone was low on battery, so I used big DUCK clock, and rush where I saw M14A turning, and M14A B/O saw me, and he kindly let me on close to 2nd stop, Cherry & Jackson Sts which #1083 departed @ 19:37, arrive Essex/Delancey Sts @ 19:45.
