R62A 1991 Posted January 2, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2010 I'm reclaiming my territory, and started by railfanning the Livonia Line like it should be railfanned. I have a new camera, and it did me great justice today! Some disclaimers. If it looks like my pictures are off-balance, photobucket may have messed them up while resizing them. I just went through all of the originals, and their balance is right for me. Also...I have no idea right now how to get some lighting for underground shots, so forgive me if they're dark. Let's go with Livonia!! Van Siclen Av, entrance, station & trains: R142 trains galore today. Only 20% of the trains were R142As. And they all came within 8 minutes of each other. Yay for better headways than the ! 10X Optical Zoom is fantastic. I'm very pleased with it. Though it doesn't always work. Pennsylvania Avenue. By the way, trains were SPEEDING down the hill here into Penn. This is R142 7180. Our youngest R142, I think. Or maybe that title goes to R142 1250. Either way, it had to be doing 36-38 MPH. Rockaway Avenue. Sorry about the gate. I officially love Rockaway Av as a spot for videos. Both sides have trains coming in speeding. Sutter-Rutland It's going... It's gone. One last try with the zoom: Doesn't that bird look like an electric eel? Newkirk Av, no train shots: The lives. Bowling Green: What part of "follow the arrows" did some people just NOT get? That one came out clear, I don't remember the settings though... South Ferry: No program to South Ferry, only to Chambers St. Look what was waiting at 14th St, and with no one to sit and fit into the seat: Yes, it's R62 1589. I just wanted to show you that's a at the GAP. I know it's not a good pic. But, after that, I felt so good, I thought to myself, "I'm going to go to New Lots & keep railfanning." Partial close at Van Siclen. New Lots Avenue. Transfer to the B15 that no one ever seems to do (except that guy that I led here because there was no other way for him). Comment of the day while taking this next one: "we got a buff out here." Memories of R62A trains with 9-cars. Let's end where we began. The station I call home. Videos! And there you have it. Hope you enjoyed my first excursion of 2010, and the first of many on my home line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62A 1991 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted January 3, 2010 Very nice dude! I was at Rector/SF like midnight early to avoide foamers now. I wish an R62 would pop on the ! Since its running out of Livonia! Thanks! I see, well, whatever works for you (like morning railfanning works for me). I was hoping for an R62 as well especially since the was shortened this weekend, opening up a lot of cars. But, who knows, it may happen next weekend. I love how you narrarate your pics. who was calling you a buff? Its good to see different pics other that the 160's Thanks. I used to like doing that a while ago, it's nice to do it again. It was probably a train operator or conductor, because as I turned around, they disappeared into a door. That's just an upside down 6 lol. I just realized this. Well, if it worked for them, it did. great photos Thanks. Hope railfanning went well for you today as well. Excellent pics and vids! This is my first time seeing pics of the Livonia Ave. el in a WHILE. Thanks! Well, there will be more to come from me this year, but not for a while. nice pics seeing the 142s on the livonia el would love the see a connection between junius street(3) and and livonia on the Thanks! If there was a connection, there'd be another way to transfer cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
