Fresh Pond Posted February 9, 2010 Share #26 Posted February 9, 2010 As someone said before, NB express by Woodhaven Blvd. It sounds cool if you're standing on the SB platform and the train is going by but even better if you're actually on that train. It works on any car (including R160) and you'll hear it the best if you're standing (or sitting) over the truck area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do that under certain GOs or when problems occur on one of the local tracks. I've also been on a rerouted that ran express on the West End El. Now that was a fast run.

bigrene18 Posted February 11, 2010 Share #34 Posted February 11, 2010 They do that under certain GOs or when problems occur on one of the local tracks. We are talking about express runs when the subway service is normal, NOT when it's during a G.O.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R42 M Train Posted February 11, 2010 Share #35 Posted February 11, 2010 uptown between Canal and Union Square is awesome. I love flying by Prince St and 8th Street at 40mph.
