President's day weekend railfanning


LRG

Recommended Posts

Since my Friday and Saturday classes were canceled, I railfanned (check my first blog post, if interested, for an itinerary of what I did). Other than that, here's what happened:

 

From Friday, February 12th, 2010:

I took a snapshot of 7 WTC upon leaving Chambers Street, heading for the PATH train to Exchange Place for the HBLR (will provide a link for that later on):

In Staten Island:

Here's the abandoned SIR North Shore Line:

A few more bonuses (the following two were from the X10):

Now, can someone say "R32 (B)?":

And how about "32 (A)?" Was I lucky or what! I caught R32s on the (A), (B), (C)and (V), all in one day! Who knew getting an R32 is easy as (A)(B)(C)...and (V)? Lmao ;):

From Saturday, February 13th 2010:

 

I didn't really see anything interesting except for an R32 on the (A). And I only spotted the set that I was on as well so that killed that multiple R32 hint rumor.

 

In the morning, I rode the (G) shuttle bus from Brooklyn to Queens on an RTS based out of Ulmer Park. I really didn't feel like taking bus pics that day:

After riding the (N) and (F), I caught the 32 (A) at Jay Street heading to Manhattan. It was going to leave but the (F) went ahead first.

After the (A), I headed to the (1):

On a side note, good news for you R160 fans: 9898-9902, the highest-numbered Kawasaki R160Bs are now here:

Afterwards, I headed to Staten Island and checked out the Staten Island Railway (I'll post those in the SIR subforum). After that, I lingered at the mall for an hour, then checked out the (N), (Q) and (7) in Queens:

And from there, I headed home.

 

That's all for now, so feel free to reply. Enjoy!

oh cool you went middle class ;)

 

I thought a ride with KR.

 

But the extra pixs nice as well!

 

Yeah, except KR does a QM route.

 

Nice yellow (B)!!!

 

BTW, why does that (7) think that it's so special?

 

Thanks, and I don't know B)
