R188 7857 Posted August 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 6, 2014 In addition to my bus adventures yesterday, also had a bit of subway. Tried to get a R188 but ultimately failed as the R188 I spotted went via local...... And here's an example of the frustration of a railfan. The last time I tried getting an R188 an R62A with an RFW came in, with an R188 behind it that was going to run express......... Now this time all the R188 I saw were either on local, or bunched up on the other end..... These pics weren't my best though, as I didn't take the time to adjust my settings. There is one photo when my camera didn't focus... sorry about that! Oh yeah, before we start, these things are at all three tracks at Main Street now... SAM_0285 by r188_7857, on Flickr SAM_0286 by r188_7857, on Flickr Messed up on this one for sure.... SAM_0287 by r188_7857, on Flickr Sorry about this one, the sun was shining right at my camera.... SAM_0288 by r188_7857, on Flickr This one was a tad bit out of focus... SAM_0289 by r188_7857, on Flickr Now to the frustration of commuters..... Not a single train was seen when I was on my train... Another train already came and only a few minutes after did the train FINALLY come.... pretty long wait. On the other hand, on the Manhattan/Queens side the train came pretty frequent... So about these photos, settings were changed from my usual and they didn't turn out that good.

SAM_0300 by r188_7857, on Flickr IDK why, but the lighting really screwed up on this one so I edited a tad bit. THIS IS NOT A CONVERSION SET! It is #7832 a factory set, just the camera screwed it up a bit! SAM_0302 by r188_7857, on Flickr Thanks for watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted August 6, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 6, 2014 That third shot would have been perfect if you had the entire train, still a great shot none the less. The fourth shot is very nice too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparen of Iria Posted September 2, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 2, 2014 Well, at least we're seeing progress on the CBTC side of things. Maybe with some luck, the 7 will actually go to Hudson Yards before June 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted September 3, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 3, 2014 Yesterday I was also out on the 7 and I didn't see any R188s except in the yard and at Main St, where there were two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
