Which members of NYC Transit Forums have you met or spoke to in person?

[Coney Island Av 764]

i'm just curious who is actually friends with one another on this site. I have seen a few members before on fantrips. I'll try to meet/speak to members such as @Union Tpke on fantrips in the future. 

I'll start us off with members I've seen in person:

@Around the Horn

@Union Tpke 

@Fan Railer

@Dj Hammers (actually spoke to him once) 

 

[LaGuardia Link N Tra 361]

The only people on here I have met in person.

@bulk88 I met at a TransportationCamp event

@justhafacts who encouraged me to join these forums.

@MTA Rail Fan who is one of my friends from school and says he knows @Dj Hammers

update that list. I met @Dj Hammers and saw whom I was told was @Fan Railer but we didn't speak to each other

I also passed @Coney Island Av without even knowing

This was all at the parade of trains

I'm sure I've seen some bus fan on one of my express buses, but I wouldn't dare speak to them.  I'm just an every day commuter.

Which express bus?

The BxM18.  I don't use it as often as I used to, but I know the regular riders.  Over the years, I've seen a few young ones riding that were either fanning and/or knew the driver.

You may see me again at another meeting depending on how things go. Had to split last night to get my Uber.

Off the top of my head I've met the following people in-person (there's probably more I'm forgetting offhand): @Union Tpke, @GojiMet86, @BrooklynBus, @Dj Hammers, @Mysterious2train, @Amtrak7, @BrooklynIRT, @LRG, @FamousNYLover, and @Via Garibaldi 8

Trevor from TTMG, Forest Glen (peter parker), PinepowerLI, twenty22 (former LIB driver), and can't remember.

[B35 via Church 7,006]

Haven't exactly met them, but I have seen Pinepower (more times than I would have liked to) & FamousNYLover (once... don't remember where though; too long a time ago).....

This is also my attitude.... When I have someone out there that wanted/wants me arrested for "harassment" (idle threat or not), I'm especially simply not interested in meeting anyone on any forum..... What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas & that goes double for any internet forum.....

I will say this though... These transit fans need to calm the hell down.  They get on the express bus with no manners, running like they're never going to get a seat. I almost gave this young one a good whack. You want to sit all the way in the back fine, but the magic word is EXCUSE ME!  Seems like this generation coming up here was never told anything about manners.

Speaking of Generations, there's too many .... (hmmm, how do I put this?)

Too many teens up to no good, or something  (I'm not sure how to describe it well) 

One thing that I know (and that my dad has told me on a couple of instances) my generation is f***ked up. That (to me) doesn't want to make you imagine the next generation.

I think things have just worsened in some cases. It's a problem in my generation too. Creativity and innovation is something that seems to be good with this generation but I'd say selfishness has worsened. My generation is very self centered. It's just progressed with yours. lol

[RR503 3,702]

I’ve met @Dj Hammers, @Fan Railer and @Bulk88 

I saw @Union Tpke at I believe the July NYCT board meeting, but I had to leave before I could say hi. 

[Cait Sith 6,557]

Too many to list.....I'll leave it at that 😂

It isn't really meeting, but by chance I passed by @Daniel The Cool at Cortlandt Street last week.

[Union Tpke 3,086]

I saw @mine248 and @R32 3838 on the R179  today. I now regularly see @67thAve.

[Union Tpke 3,086]

Saw @TheNewYorkElevated while fanning the shuttle today, and have seen @mtattrain.

[Union Tpke 3,086]

I have seen @RR503 a few times, and I once happened to see @FamousNYLover on the subway.

[NoHacksJustKhaks 355]

Haven't met anyone, but I saw @Around the Horn in early July taking photos of an R179  at Mott Av. (was when my profile picture was taken). I didn't realize it was him shooting the photos until now when I looked through his flikr and saw the photos were dated the same. Wish I'd known sooner, small world...

I see a lot of people in the Community (some of whom are on here) since I ride the trains a lot and run them for a living. It's fun piecing together who's who from looking up the footage later.

Speaking of Flickr, I haven’t uploaded anything on there in a while. Might as well go on a Posting Spree
