R160 Posted May 9, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 9, 2011 With the help of Melvin and King Of RedBirds, I am writing a/an informational/factional book on the Broadway line. The book is currently 30 pages long and is doing pretty well, but I need some help from you guys. I lack good photos of the R46s. If you took (or can take) any pictures of the R46 running on either the and would like to contribute to the book, please send them to me. Under the photo will be a short caption and your name. Exmaple: [PHOTO HERE] A R46 R train departs 21st-Queensbridge. Photo by Your Name. I need about 5 or 6 photos, so you can submit more than one! Also, if you feel you have a really good picture involving the trains, feel free to send me those as well. I also need a cover picture, so if you have a pic that has a lot of potential, send it to me please! Thanks to all those who contribute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted May 9, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 9, 2011 A book should have information too. If you want you could also mention the history of the Broadway Line, the Broadway Line as of currently, and the future of the Broadway Line. You should also include information of past, current, and future service patterns and letters on the line, and many other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should also include information of past, current, and future service patterns and letters on the line, and many other things. The first sentence says: "With the help of Melvin and King Of RedBirds, I am writing a/an informational/factional book on the Broadway line." Here's everything that I plan to have the book include About the NYC Subway Past and Present Rolling Stock Route Information History of the Broadway Line History of the Astoria Line History of the Queens Boulevard Line History of the Sea Beach Line History of the Brighton Line History of the 4th Avenue Line Abandoned stations Terminals and Major Complexes In revenue stations Lay-ups and Yards Astoria Construction Sea Beach Construction Brighton Beach Construction Coney Island Project CBTC along Queens Boulevard June 2010 Service Changes If you can think of something else to add to that, let me know.

R160 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted May 9, 2011 Have you included information on the Manhattan Bridge shutdown and the effects of it on the Broadway Line. That's going to be included in the History of the Broadway Line chapter. It will be a little while until I get there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R160 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share #9 Posted May 9, 2011 Don't know what you think, but this was on the . Hm, I think it would be better if it actually showed an train and some track/tunnel. That's kinda difficult because it only runs underground, but hopefully someone has some good photos. If you contribute a minimum of 2 photos, you get the book for free!

R160 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share #10 Posted May 12, 2011 Since very few people are contributing photos, if I find a photo on NYCT, I will PM the photographer and ask for permission to use the photo. However, if you still think you have a few pictures you'd like to submit, please do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrainFanatic Posted May 13, 2011 Share #13 Posted May 13, 2011 Forgive me since I don't have any photos for participation, but if I were to read this book and found photos in which a train takes 95% of the frame I'd be pissed. Readers want to see the subway - not just trains. Get some platform, tunnel, structure, etc into the frame. Think as if you're a foreigner interested in seeing the NYC Subway System. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readers want to see the subway - not just trains. Get some platform, tunnel, structure, etc into the frame. Think as if you're a foreigner interested in seeing the NYC Subway System. Just a suggestion. Of course. The photos I've used so far follow that. I'm hoping that the cover photo will be something like the cover photo on Tracks of the NYC Subway 2011. Thanks for the suggestion. @NY Famous Lover: Those photos look too grainy and dark. @Matt Train: That looks a little too bright but I might be able to use it if I make it a bit darker.
