you need to start making your trips outside of Manhattan,every railfanner has at least railfanned in manhattan go to other areas like brooklyn,bronx. this is why most people dont really join railfans that area based with in manhattan.

I hope you review my trip, it kinda covers the routes you want to do while compromises with mine (hey we are still rockin' the G.O.'s).

 

 

 

Got suggestions from NX Express and many people, here is the result, if he accepts:

 

Trip Route of 01/23/2010:

{Start of Trip}:

~Meet at DeKalb Ave. (R) Platform Manhattan Bound at 11:30am.

~Ride (R) to 42nd St. - Times Sq, transfer to (7).

~Ride (7) to Willets Point - Mets, Photo-Op/Video-Op the shuttle and ride the shuttle to Flushing - Main St.

~Lunch at Flushing~

~Ride Q19 to Astoria transfer to M60, take M60 to Cathedral Parkway transfer to (1).

~Take (1) down to Columbus Circle, take R-44 (A) up to 145th or 125th St.

~Take R68 (D) down CPW and transfer to (E) via the (F).

~Take (E) to 34th St. HSQ and ride (E) back to 21st Street Queensbridge.

~(G) Bus photo fanning.

{End of trip}

 

We are not waiting for any SMEEs (Pre-R42's), if it comes, it comes & we'll ride it. The trip is all about getting on the G.O.'s with minimal time and maximum speed.

 

no shuttle bus rides please. I want to keep it as Subway lines online except for the part where we ride the M60 bus to W 110th Street. And add the (Q) in this trip please?
