[FamousNYLover 578]

Since I have too many pictures, I like to post in one location because Open House NY is off-topic.

Today I took mass transit ride Open House New York's event at Great Hall at City College of NY, High Bridge Water Tower, and Harry F. Sinclair House.

Total time: 5 minutes.

 

After I use one 45 minute computer at Washington heights Library, I call museum superviser friend, John Camperlengo to indicate bus will be arriving 173rd St and I got on same hybrid bus on M18 #6717 I think and departed 10:55 and arrive 162nd St at 10:56 because I spotted M3 right behind it.

Total time: 2 minutes.

Next, I got on TMC RTS-06 on M3 #8488 departed 10:57, arrive St. Nick/173rd St @ 11:03.

Total time: 6 minutes.

I met John Camperlengo and we went to Highbridge Water Tower

.

 

 

She told us Little Red Lighthouse is open, but to confusion and we didn't have much time, we given up and went to 178th St/Ft. Wadsworth Av.

We spotted Kingbridge's two Orion V on Bx13, but I got one first one #488 departed @ 13:09.

Also, took video as Yankees-bound making wide upside down V turn from Ogden to Jerome Avs.

and arrive River Av/162nd St @ 13:41.

Total time: 32 minutes.

 

Next I got on front car of R142A Kawasaki #7705 as GO local departed 161st St-Yankees Stadium at 13:58., with express on local track from 116th to 86th Sts, which arrived at 14:12.

Total time: 14 minutes.

Since I didn't see the M86 bus, I walk to 5th Av/85th St where my mom sells jewerly outside, and she need to use restroom, so I watch her stuff.

Then, after she came back, I went to eat quickly at The MET cafeteria's Cheeseburger with French Fries, with Snapple Ice Tea and Chocolate Soymilk, and ask for container.

As I ate cheeseburger, I put some french fries quickly as possible and exit at Uris Center exit via 80th St PARK FAST because I was going to try to make it to Science Barge: A Sustainable Urban Farm at Pier 61 with last OHNY tour at 16:00.

I walk to 5th Av/79th St and got on Manhattanville TMC RTS-06 on M2 LTD #8478 departed 15:11, with new straight 5th Av path, arrive 23rd St @ 15:33.

Total time: 22 minutes.

Next, I waited for M23 and MJQ's New Flyer Artic on M23 #5595 didn't come soon, and departed 15:49.

Due to westbound lane closed, and also there was ahead M23, our bus arrive 12th Av/22nd St @ 16:03.

Total time: 14 minutes.

I rush to 4pm tour, but to findout, other attendee and I was disappointed because it only take 50 maxium people, so I ran back to stop, and this time I got on #5582 departed 16:08, arrive Park Av S @ @ 16:25.

Total time: 17 minutes.

There was street fair, so I spotted Mad Av bus going westbound on 23rd St, but to find-out it was M3 Local, so I enter subway.

 

I got on front car of R142A Kawasaki #7240 departed @ 18:28.

Arrive 77th St @ 16:42.

I didn't see M79, so I walk to Harry F. Sinclair House for OHNY event instead.

Here is off-topic picture of OHNY.

I started from 3rd to 1st floors.

After it closed at 17:00, I quickly went to have steak rib for dinner at MET's public cafeteria, then went to my mom's jewerly stand.

I help her carry lots of stuff and she went to use Uris Center's you-know-waht b/c that is less crowded, so we on Manhattaville Orion 07.501 Hybrid on M4 #6652 departed 80th St @ 18:58, arrive 42dn St @ 19:20, but due to some kind of fence stuff they used for parade, we have to exit at front.

Total time: 22 minutes.

 

Next, we got on 2nd or 3rd car of R62A Bombadier #1971 departed 5th Av @ 19:22.

With female conductor well inform and very detail.

"Ladies & Gentlemen! Listen Carefully! Because of construction, with exception, all Flushing-bound trains are running express from Queensboro Plaza to Willets Point-Shea Stadium. There is no local service to 33rd, 40th, 46th, 52nd, 69th, 74th, 82nd, 90th, 103 and 111th Sts.

THE END

 

P. S.

It is 173 steps from highest point on High Bridge Water Tower to ground floor.

Park Ranger told us that High Bridge pedestrian is closed because of incident that someone throw rock at man, but it hit the bridge instead, so they closed for renovation, so they could open to public.
