East New York Posted March 6, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2008 What is your favorite and least favorite subway line(s), and why? My favorites would have to be the because it was the first line I rode a NTT train on, the line because I think the express sevice is one of the best, and the line because it's my home line, I've rode it more than any other line, and this past September was the first time I rode it past B'way Junction. My least favorite would have to be the line, but only because it takes all year to get from 8 Av-14th St to Canarsie, and the train is packed to capacity towards Manhattan in the AM, and towards Brooklyn in the PM. I wish there was an express track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted March 6, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 6, 2008 I love the from 207 to Far Rock, the ride across the bay on an R32can't be beat. At a close second is the , a pure IND line. I can't really think of a line I disslike, there are some I don't like as much as others like the , but that is because I have never had a RFW on that line.

TransitGuy Posted March 6, 2008 Share #7 Posted March 6, 2008 My favorite since it is my home line and I just like some of the views.

PATCOman Posted March 7, 2008 Share #11 Posted March 7, 2008 I like the because of the interesting features that line has (3 track bored tunnel, loop terminal [for now], cool viaduct, and historic 1904 stations.) The because it uses R32s and it has great speed in Queens The ( because of great speed on the Brighton Express. I also like the , but it was/ would be better with redbirds/ more R62s.

Fred G Posted March 9, 2008 Share #12 Posted March 9, 2008 It's a long line but I enjoy the . It traverses classic IND in Queens, modern scifi at Roosevelt Island, Manhattan IND, crosses the Gowanus at the monstrous Smith-9th and then past more classic IND before coming up on the Culver elevated and winds up at Coney Island. I guess similar could be said about the and its Rockaway components, but I personally like the better. I like the and the a lot, too, but those are because they're childhood lines. As for least liked, I'd say the . I don't dislike it, but don't like it as much as the others. The caveat here would be that I don't use any line to commute so my post is from a railfan perspective.

R32 3348 Posted March 10, 2008 Share #15 Posted March 10, 2008 My favorite lines are the(6) and . I love the because it is so frequent and you never have to wait long for one. The R142A it uses are also clean and efficient. I love the because it is one of the best lines to railfan on, and the fact that it is pretty frequent. It's one of two of my home lines. The is my other home line and is easily one of the greatest underground line to railfan on. The uses the R160s and is a kind of international express like the . The is another great line to railfan on. A lot of those lines are very crowded but what does that have to do with anything? It's not like I'm gonna die. I've never been on the (aside from going to 42nd to 59th on a GO)( (well, once when we had to go form Brooklyn to Manhattan to get home but other than that, no) or trains before. I'm only 13, I do all my railfanning after school on Fridays. The last time I've been on the was when I was 6 or something, since I mainly use Queens Boulevard. I've used the once when I was railfanning, and that first time I was on the was on an R160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
