LMAO!!! Great minds think alike cuz I was saying the same thing... I got the best example ever.... there's a R68 (or R68A, who gives a rat's ass) set on the today, and on my facebook timeline, 5 people are going to look for it Nevermind the fact that its a beautiful day outside and most people (myself included) would kill to enjoy this day but can't cuz of work, school, or some other thing but they go and hunt down a train That's how you know you're addicted to the subway NUFF SAID!!

TwoTimer Posted May 6, 2011 Share #112 Posted May 6, 2011 When you consider a different type of equipment running on a certain line (i.e. R68 ) an entirely new experience on par with riding a line for the first time. Be honest people... how many of u's flocked out there... (trying to go in order of what happened first) to catch a R68 (kudos to that guy who said 5 on his FB page were going out to look for that R68 ) to catch a R160 to catch a R160 etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted May 6, 2011 Share #113 Posted May 6, 2011 This coming from the same dude who flocked out for that R32/R46 .....HMMM I really don't know what you're talking about!!! However, every single car move that has happened, I never waited around for them. Last year when R160s hit the I was on the train and spotted the 160 heading in the same direction. When the R160s hit the I was on the train and saw the train at West Fourth Street and waited for it at Broadway - Lafayette. When the R44s hit the I was doing an errand and just caught one out of the blue. Honestly I really don't go and search for these transfers, they just come to me so there's really no need to sit and wait for a train hours upon hours when I could just catch one at random and be done with it and care less afterwards.

TrainFanatic Posted May 7, 2011 Share #117 Posted May 7, 2011 IMO I think a foamer is a person who loves trains to the point in which it takes up much time of their social life and/or annoys others. Don't get me wrong thou, I'm not the type to look for certain equipment on certain lines. I'm not even the type to collect timetables or record every car number I've spotted. I just don't find those things interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kacie Jane Posted May 7, 2011 Share #118 Posted May 7, 2011 You know you are addicted to subways when you come on this site and talk about Subways every day. ... even though you live over 3000 miles away and have ridden the subway 3 times since 2004.

Ceya Posted May 14, 2011 Share #122 Posted May 14, 2011 You know you are addicted... Your on NYC Transit forums. You know more about trains than about your family. You have a room that looks better than MTA Museum at Grand Central store. You can give detailed information about the system and you don't work for MTA. S/F, CEYA!
