Quill Depot Posted August 6, 2011 Share #327 Posted August 6, 2011 Today I went to a place called Pax. There, there was a hot girl about my age. So I'm admiring her with her southern accent. All of the sudden here dad (I assume) says something about taking the subway. She says, "I hate the subway." I. Was. Speechless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R68 Subway Car Posted August 8, 2011 Share #333 Posted August 8, 2011 I have finally settled on a DSLR: Nikon D5100. I will have the money to buy it by March-April 2012. I will buy two lens to go along with it (one in march and the second between September-November 2012). I will buy the Nikon 70-300mm AF-S VR Zoom Lens in March when I get the D5100 body so that I can take outdoor shots. Between September-November 2012, I will get either a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Lens or a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Lens to go along with it so that I can take shots of moving trains underground. I cannot wait to get this stuff! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The isn't that long, so if you are lucky enough you can catch the same train you rode a few hours ago. Scary! I wouldn't want a conductor on his cellphone. It's not like it's the t/o who's driving the train. The c/r is opening and closing the doors. You worry too much.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted August 9, 2011 Share #338 Posted August 9, 2011 I wonder if that rusted bucket of rickety bolts is still on the . That R42 was really bucking violently, and I got nervous! There was a s#!t load of R32's on the today (about 6 sets to Rockaway Pk, 5 to lefferts, something like that). btw, keep on the watchout at ENY yard. Theres an R32 there that is said to be there just for fixing-up. But at the last minute they might decide to run it on the or . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted August 9, 2011 Share #339 Posted August 9, 2011 I used to pass by Coney Island Yard once a week, back when the R40s and R42s were still in service. I never knew that it was even a subway shop until last year, but now when I go over that bridge and under Neptune Av on the , I look to the right and see nothing but a sea of silver bland NTTs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted August 12, 2011 Share #341 Posted August 12, 2011 Today during PM Rush Hour I was riding a that was all signed up to go to New Lots Av (even the Countdown Clock labeled it as such) but of course the train went out of service at Utica instead. I wasn't all that surprised, because something similar happened to a train interval at the end of AM Rush Hour. Anyway after the the train went out of service, the train sat on the express track for a good 3-4 minutes, leaving around the same time a arrives. What gets me was that the 3-4 minutes spent sitting in Utica could have just been used staying in service to New Lots. (To clarify, the OOS train did indeed switch to the local track once it left Utica) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why yours all of a sudden ended at Utica.When did they announce that Utica would be the last stop?

Mysterious2train Posted August 12, 2011 Share #343 Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) There are a few trains that go to New Lots rush hour during PM Rush hour. I wonder why yours all of a sudden ended at Utica.When did they announce that Utica would be the last stop? Oh and is the Beverly Rd Countdown clock on yet? 1. The C/R first announced that Utica Av would be the last stop as we were travelling between Atlantic Av and Franklin Av. 2. Beverly Road is still not online yet. But I am curious as to why the New Lots-bound Countdown Clock at Utica Av almost always seems to only show the actual time.

Roadcruiser1 Posted August 12, 2011 Share #346 Posted August 12, 2011 1) The ( train will just stop at the island platform, and the T/O will move to the other end of the train. People can correct me if I am wrong for number 1. 2) Won't happen, because the will just jam the , and the on the express tracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lance25 Posted August 12, 2011 Share #347 Posted August 12, 2011 @Abba: It didn't say that trains were terminating at DeKalb Av. It said that there were no ( trains running between 145 St and DeKalb Av. Unless the specifically states that trains are terminating at such-and-such station, they're usually just rerouted somewhere else. Unlike when the ( and are rerouted via 8th Avenue/Culver to Coney Island, they can't get back to their usual lines if they're, for example, rerouted up Broadway to 57 St-7 Av or Ditmars Blvd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
