Mysterious2train Posted July 9, 2011 Share #281 Posted July 9, 2011 'Twas half asleep on the . I gained cognisance of where I was at Beverley Road. This women next to me tells me we're at Parkside Av. So I look around and indeed, we're actually at Beverley Rd. WTH was up with that? Did she intentionally mislead me or what? Granted, she was watching a baby (her son, I'm guessing) so she was probably just distracted. Also, this is the second time that, at Atlantic-Pacific where the and are right across the platform and even though the stops at Dekalb Ave, it still ends up beating the across the bridge. Also, the T/O if the train kept blowing the horn on the bridge, I think he was greeting all the other trains we encountered, but maybe he wasn't, because nobody else honked back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted July 10, 2011 Share #287 Posted July 10, 2011 Earlier, I was walking (running lol) down the stairs at Broadway Junction cuz I didn't wanna wait for the ...as I'm comming down (I wason the right one) this dude flies by me (mind you, I'm going fast enough lol) on the left staircase on the phone. He gets to near the bottom and slips and slides down the rest of the stairs...let's just say his phone beat him down the stairs Fast forward a few minutes later, the train that pulls in says to Canal St on the screen. Once we past Kingston-Throop, it went to the regular to 207 St How bout we put the entire subway and railroads on guideways??????????? I planned my own rte. lololololololololol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted July 12, 2011 Share #289 Posted July 12, 2011 Anyone else notice how the will retcon station names? I.E.: Gravesend - 86th St -> 86th St Gravesend - Neck Road -> Neck Road Parkchester - E 177th St -> Parkchester Nereid Ave - 238th St -> Nereid Ave I mean, sometimes station re-naming will have a big to-do about it (Jay St-Metrotech, Court Square-23rd St, Fulton St ) But here the names were quietly changed (or in this case, shortened) like a comic book retcon EDIT: Maybe I'm crazy, but was Neck Road ever called Gravesend-Neck Road? All the sources I've seen have called it just Neck Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"238 St" and "E 177 St" were dropped because Nereid Av is East 238 St and E 177 St doesn't exist where the Parkchester station is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alejr88 Posted July 14, 2011 Share #297 Posted July 14, 2011 Today I rode on a Queens bound (N)ovember at Stillwell since it was going express on the line. Once the train arrives on Bay Parkway, there was 3 stupid kids playing around and one of them hid on the tracks. The T/O saw this and notified the Tw/O of what was going on. The idiots were going to leave on the but they ran away when they heard the T/O reporting them and just before train leaves, an R68 (D)elta arrives at the station and the T/O on the N was notifying the other T/O on the D of what was going on. The C/R finally closes the door on the N and we leave. The train was travelling sort of slow because of the yellow flags and the D that was on Bay Pkwy was travelling at the same speed heading to 20th Avenue and the kids were on the D train most likely running away from the cops who were notified. One of the passengers recognized the kid and then told the T/O of the N train that they were on car 2568 of the D. As the N ran past 20th Avenue on the express track, the D stopped there for a few minutes. Maybe the cops arrived and took those losers out of the system. Damn one of them could have died and would have caused a 12-9. :confused: If you want to be stupid and play around, go play with fire. Running around the station and on the tracks you are just asking for trouble. Such idiots in this world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejr88 Posted July 14, 2011 Share #298 Posted July 14, 2011 What do you think? If you're talking to me then IDK. It seems odd that the want to go back as how things were and now since people in Middle Village, Queens or those living by Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn have a one seat train ride to 6th Avenue in Manhattan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
