pjbr40 Posted April 18, 2014 Share #76 Posted April 18, 2014 i remember one time on the West End , we stop at Union Street on the express track because of signal problem. It was red for long time and the conductor waited like 10 minutes to move thru the red light. i was so young that i was looking out the window. it was not the slanted one. i forgot what series it was.

West End Posted May 12, 2014 Share #79 Posted May 12, 2014 My best experience was when the was doing Fastrak repairs and the was extended to 21 St-Queensbridge. The conductor accidentally programmed the to run to "East Side-96 St". It was an exciting peek at the new FIND system for the and other things that are yet to come.

Union Tpke Posted June 23, 2014 Share #81 Posted June 23, 2014 The most amazing thing happened yesterday! I was on a downtown 6 train planning to go around the loop and as I was taking a video from the side windows the train operator, whose name I found out was John, let me inside the cab and allowed me to take an RFW of the City Hall Loop from an R142A! This is an experience I will always remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gong Gahou Posted July 4, 2014 Share #86 Posted July 4, 2014 SMEEs on the . I recall seeing and riding the 32s, 40s (slants and modifieds), and the 68/68As during my childhood. The most amazing thing happened yesterday!

This is an experience I will always remember! Don't take MVH9218's warning lightly. Hopefully you made up that name, or else you may have gotten that train operator into a whole lot of trouble. Either way, next time you really should keep unauthorized activities like this to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
