EE Broadway Local Posted March 20, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2011 One day I was at 34th Street-Pennsylvania Station. I was down at the end of the platform, around the 10 car marker. This was when the was R32 Brightliners and that was what I was waiting for - the . Anyway, this train arrives, and I figure an will be next. I honestly don't know what caused what occurred to happen, but as I wait, I hear a loud 'Yo!". Sure enough, it's the T/O, and he is yelling at me! "Come on, man! I don't stop down there! I've never stopped down there.' Sheepishly, I apologized and said I was waiting for the E. He pulled out and I did get my E train that day.

EE Broadway Local Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted March 20, 2011 One time, when I was a little one (back in the 1970'), I entered the subway at Canal Street-Holland Tunnel 70(A) 70(AA) 70(CC) 70(E). I had the money to buy a token and I don't why I tried it. I went to the turnstile (it was one that had a green back and silver bars and a flat arm). Then I went over to the Token Booth. I claimed I had placed a token into the turnstile and it didn't work. She came out of the Token Booth and went over to the turnstile. 'Son, there is no token in there.' Then, instead of getting angry with me, she said 'But, if you give me 50 cents, I will put a token in there for the arm to work and if you give me a dollar, I'll also put a token in your pocket for you to get home.' I am thankful to this day that the Token Booth clerk did not get angr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
