R32 3348 Posted July 1, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2008 I regularly take this line, so I just decided to railfan it... Trip Highlights - from 96th St to 59th St to Times Square to Main Street to 74th St - Broadway My Feet The Switch just north of Hunters Point Station Around the curve after leaving Hunters Pt. S/B Train Entering 45th Rd - CHSQ Crossing over to the express track - This is the area that was worked on and forced the line to close early last year We caught up to the local in front of us at 46th Street, as well as a S/B local Another local passes by shortly, at 52nd Street The switch work south of 74th street that was placed earlier this year. Long switch isn't it? If you look closely you can also see the GT35 timer. S/B train at 74th Street S/B at 90th Street, which recently got a red paint job Shea Stadium Corona Put-In? Or put-out? Whatever... Train leaving Main Street I took the rest of these pics later. Train leaving 74th Street Entering 74th I find the lack of light slightly artistic... R62A 2058 has blue seats I took this in a bit of a hurry, it's the same car S/B leaving 74th Street CRAP! MY FLASH IS ON! That T/O must've been pissed... Now for two video questions. How do I record them so that they have sound? They save in .avi format. Also, how can I set the max time? Right now it's set to 60 seconds. Thanks in advance to anyone who has the answers.

trainfan22 Posted July 1, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2008 Nice pics!! Most likely your camara doesn't have sound. You would have to buy a camara with sound. Not all camaras with video mode have sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted July 3, 2008 Share #8 Posted July 3, 2008 East New York, You beat me to the "nice shoes", I was going to use that. I forget what commercial that was from, but at least I remember the tag line. Might be Nike for Bo Jackson. Anyway, very nice pics. When the kids (mine, that is) go back to school in September, I hope to do some serious RFing. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1Toasty Posted July 9, 2008 Share #12 Posted July 9, 2008 Nice catch with the blue seated R62s... and nice pics too. It'd be great to catch the even rarer R62s that apparently have benches instead of buckets... but I have never witnessed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted July 9, 2008 Share #13 Posted July 9, 2008 It'd be great to catch the even rarer R62s that apparently have benches instead of buckets... but I have never witnessed them. There's only... what, four or five of them right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted July 9, 2008 Share #14 Posted July 9, 2008 That's a great story about the ride, especially the railfan window photos! You did ride the entire line and that must have been fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be great to catch the even rarer R62s that apparently have benches instead of buckets... but I have never witnessed them. Thanks! The other blue-seated set is the LED set, but there's probably more. There's only... what, four or five of them right? Last time I checked I think it was 1587-90. That's a great story about the ride, especially the railfan window photos! You did ride the entire line and that must have been fun! Thanks! The is a great line and it's great I live right by it. Soon I'm doing a "Stations of the line" photo thread because many of the stations got new paint jobs, Shea Stadium is getting renovated, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted July 9, 2008 Share #16 Posted July 9, 2008 Shea Stadium is getting renovated. So that's why they painted it red. I'm not noticing anything else though. Are they gonna rename it "Willets Pt Blvd/Citi Field" now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they gonna rename it "Willets Pt Blvd/Citi Field" now? Not yet, when the stadium is finished. I really like what they did the red though. It looks kind of out-of-place but it fits and gives the station a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
