CenSin Posted May 12, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2014 I was shooting photos on the Brooklyn Bridge at night and ended up at Jay Street – MetroTech patiently waiting for an when the pulled into view on my camera. Train Arriving at Jay Street – MetroTech by Kevin Li Train at Church Avenue by Kevin Li This train ended up skipping all the local stops from 7 Avenue to Kings Highway and then shlept all the way to Avenue X where it went into the yard, pissing everyone off (including MTA employees on board the train).

realizm Posted May 12, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 12, 2014 Nice catch. Certainly not something you see on your average days' commute. +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from Maspeth Posted May 13, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 13, 2014 By going into CIYD from Ave. X they could do various switching maneuvers to bring it into a D line pocket at STL. It doesn't take much to piss piss off people, transit workers included. I bet there was an F right behind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted May 13, 2014 I bet there was an F right behind! Indeed there was since the dwelled at each station for so long to make announcements for — excuse me — stupid customers there was always an on our tail even though we skipped so many local stations. I could see the conductor was losing her patience, because at once station she quipped, "did you not hear what I just said?" to a confused passenger with a foot in the door and a foot on the platform. I told him, "if you don't know, get off the train and wait for one you're familiar with. This train is late and can't answer everyone's questions."
