manskimix Posted January 10, 2009 Share #27 Posted January 10, 2009 Man this sounds so cool!!! I wish when I was your age I had friends who did stuff like this, but then again the subway wasn't this safe back then. But if I don't go out the country, I would be down for this......keep me posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted January 10, 2009 Share #28 Posted January 10, 2009 That day I have no midterms whatsoever and that is the first day of my "Regents-Midterm Break", so I am planning to do my own route, centred mostly on the 8th Avenue Lines and the QBL. I might head down on the BMT South lines, we might see each other!I am going to lie to my mum and say that I have school that day. So I will actually start my trip at 6 something, continuing to 17:30. I will take breaks, though. Aren't we doing the R32 that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted January 10, 2009 Share #29 Posted January 10, 2009 Wait, what's with so many of you lying to your parents to RF? They don't let? Nope. If you go to a good school then your parents are more than likely going to make sure your life is centered around studying. That's why most of my railfanning is after school for only an hour or two. It's also why I don't go to the Bronx or Bklyn much, too out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted January 11, 2009 Share #30 Posted January 11, 2009 Wait, what's with so many of you lying to your parents to RF? They don't let?I just go like "dad, I'm going RFing" and he just says okay and off I go. And it's always been this way since I started when I was like 12 or 13. Oh yeah, an early happy birthday to you, Daniel. Hope this turns out to be a success! Lol, my parents know about my interest in the subway. However when my planned trip occurs on a weekday (and during the break), I would say, "I'm going to the bookstore" or "I'm going to tutoring"... it's more pleasing to the ear for them to say "I'm taking pictures of SMEEs and chasing after R160s" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustclee Posted January 11, 2009 Share #31 Posted January 11, 2009 Nope. If you go to a good school then your parents are more than likely going to make sure your life is centered around studying. I guess you're right. I'm just lucky that even though I spend a minimum amount of time on school work, I'm still doing pretty well in a "good" school (Brooklyn Tech... yeah I know -___-), so my parents don't care that much.

UlmerPark B6 Posted January 11, 2009 Share #32 Posted January 11, 2009 Oh, too bad for me. I have school on that day, and I can't skip it. My science fair project presentation is around that time, and my family has to pick up my aunt at JFK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I change the route a little bit Perhaps you should, I mean, aren't you always on the B and C lines? I would suggest the Eastern Division, the Queens Blvd lines and the IRT.

I really consider that you spend some time on other lines, as it boosts your experience with the subways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if it's the winter break then they'll probably let you railfan. Back when I was in high school I went to this Saturday study hall on the NYU campus. After that was done at 3PM I would hang out in the Village or Times Square. Sometimes I would railfan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted January 24, 2009 Share #43 Posted January 24, 2009 oh ok does anyone know what other lines should I do for my trip Maybe the 1, especially north of 168th? You could get a shot of the yard at 207. Flushing line definitely. Personally, I'm not recommending the G, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel The Cool Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share #45 Posted January 24, 2009 Here's my decision what my plan on my train trip First I will still do the R68 from W 125th Street to Kings Highway or Brighton Beach. Then I'll take the R68/R68A on the not the R160s and take it to Coney Island and wait for an R68/R68A train for 50 minutes. Then if I'm lucky I'll take it to 34th Street for an R68/R68A or R40 Slant ( train to W 145th Street for the and take it to 205th Street and back to Bedford Park Blvd and walk from there to the train at Woodlawn or 2nd to last stop. Then I'll take the to Grand Central for the and from there I'll take it to Queensboro Plaza and take more pictures there. Then I'll take the back to Manhattan for the ( or and take either one to W 125th Street and thats it. Note: If I have time I'll try to get shots at W4th Street So what do you guys think?

You should visit the yard. Depending on time of day, you may bump into my friends who are coming back from taking a massive Physics midyear. B):cool::tup: Don't take the 4 to Woodlawn or Moshulu, not worth your while. Just go to the Manhattan bound side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
