Brighton Express Posted June 27, 2012 Share #4 Posted June 27, 2012 I was at Church Av on the , and I told my aunt that we were crossing over to an R68 on the Express. I got on it and next thing you know the doors close and I see my aunt still sitting on the . I was like OH ISH, and I got off at Prospect Park, thank God she stayed in the train.

FriedChikkin Posted June 27, 2012 Share #5 Posted June 27, 2012 34th Street Herald Square, . I'm going to close the doors (when I was a Conductor) and watch a man that had been running for the train try to quickly reduce his speed before entering at the yellow, gridded area for the visually impaired he slides to a butt-crunching stop–he landed on his rear... I mean... errr... I saw nothing! Oh man, I've got stories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted June 27, 2012 Share #6 Posted June 27, 2012 I'm at 53rd and Lex filming an R160 when some mexican dude rushing to get on the train sideswipes me an knocks the camera four feet from my hand to the platform.

Brighton Express Posted June 27, 2012 Share #8 Posted June 27, 2012 Another one. I was at Cortelyou Rd one day and some dumba**es tried to cross the tracks. Nothing new. Then a comes flying around the turn at Beverly Rd. I have never seen anyone run faster in my life. They were screaming and everything. Three of them went back out, and the last one got into the rear of an R68 . Damn was all I could say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some time ago when two of my friends decided to cross the tracks from end to end at 75 St on the . As they were heading back, one of my dickhead friends yelled out that our train was coming when it really wasn't... And so one of the two friends that crossed the tracks jumped onto the tracks and got his leg stuck down the gap between one of the rails and the cat walk. Eventually he got out with the help of the other friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually he got out with the help of the other friend. Well the T/O on the did not see anything, but the T/O on the could not care less, he just kept on going. I remember one time though I had taken an R40 ( Q ) to 21/Queensbridge, and my shoe got caught between the train and the platform. I was struggling to get it I out and then my aunt told me the only thing I could do to get it out was to let my shoe go. I had to pull my foot out, and when the train left, I watched my shoe on the track. I went to get a new pair as soon as we left the station.

B3 Via Av U Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share #11 Posted June 28, 2012 There was this dude in a SUIT AND TIE in a station, I don't remember where, but he was begging for money. I was like WTF get a life man! And I reckon he had a watch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted June 30, 2012 Share #12 Posted June 30, 2012 Always step over the gap, not in it... Anyway, want to hear a fail? train going 30 MPH northbound in CPW Express... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubwayStation Posted June 30, 2012 Share #13 Posted June 30, 2012 Always step over the gap, not in it... Anyway, want to hear a fail? train going 30 MPH northbound in CPW Express... What station was it passing? The northbound trains always crawl past 72 St, because it's uphill and 75 footers take a while to accelerate. They'd probably hit 40 at 86 St without timers...They can still do 40 at 110 St, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted July 1, 2012 Share #17 Posted July 1, 2012 The train I saw at W 8th Street headed to Jamaica still said "F LAST STOP". This is common during the week out of Flatbush on the (2)/(5) lines, train comes in and has to go right back out and the C/R doesn't get a chance to change the sign. Usually around Church Ave the announcements is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubwayStation Posted July 1, 2012 Share #18 Posted July 1, 2012 The whole way, I believe... Well, if that's true, that's awfully unusual. The R68s generally get going pretty fast. You can see this thread: http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/35412-how-fast-is-the-cpw-express/ The R32 I was on coming back was doing about 40-45 around 72nd... Really? I highly doubt that. I've never seen anything go faster than 30-35 MPH at 72 St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedChikkin Posted July 1, 2012 Share #19 Posted July 1, 2012 A man with a cane leaves my southbound at Roosevelt Island late one night... as I close the doors I watch as he performs the most horribly acted, controlled fall to the floor and he looks up, turns his head toward me (maybe not realizing I watched the whole thing take place) with his best-attempted look of angst on his face... What else could I do at that point? I shook my head, laughed at him and kept it rolling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
