MTR Admiralty Posted April 15, 2009 Share #30 Posted April 15, 2009 So, can you guys wait for me and count me in? I am going and how much should I have on my Metro? I have a full day tomorrow since the trip was moved. So, meet-up at Roosevelt Bus Term at 11:00AM right? I can do it since I am one express away, ! Call me Kevin, ! Oh sure, but Kris and I will be there around 10:40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted April 15, 2009 Share #31 Posted April 15, 2009 Like I said at RD I'm in. I really don't feel like doing the bus portion of the trip, but railfanning with a group involves compromising. Yeah, i'd like to come along but i'm not a bus guy either lol. Where do you fellas expect to be around 1-2 PM? I have Urbanfortitudes number, I could always ask him at the last minute...just figuring what time I would have to get on the LIRR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 15, 2009 Share #34 Posted April 15, 2009 Reminders (you, know, to keep everything organised and flowing): -A sticker attached to your jacket or shirt that indicates your name and your handle. (That will help us out. We don't want to YO each other) -Bring some money for food (5-10?) Unless you are bringing food from home. -A MetroCard (duh..., how else are you going to enter the system? Freeload?) -A camera or anything that has a camera device (like how else are you going to take shots? Pencil and paper?) Just some tips and heads-up for our crew :cool: By the way, we will exchange numbers (optional) so that we will not lose each other along the way. (I hope that does not happen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted April 15, 2009 Share #36 Posted April 15, 2009 I'm not in the 2nd grade. I'm not wearing a sticker. However, I'll tell you how I look like-6 feet tall, 200 pounds, glasses, African-American, wearing Giants cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'll tell you how I look like-6 feet tall, 200 pounds, glasses, African-American, wearing Giants cap. Lol, that's why I'm not wearing one either...I'll be with Henry so if people see Harold and Kumar they know they're in the right place. Is 8 Bucks cool? (I am purchasing the value one).Cool, but for phone number. If we are mostly underground then I ain't bringing no phone. And restaurant at Jay. How many minutes are we eating? Dine-in (fast-food style, no tip) or take-out. No. It has to be exactly 4 bucks or else we will kick you off the train when the SMEE finally arrives. Yes, 8 bucks is ok... We're technically staying outside for most of the time, save for the getting from the Rockaways to the Culver, and back on CPW. We're not going to a restaurant, but we'll look for a random place at Jay to eat. I just looked at Street View on Google Maps and there is a Subway restaurant at Jay St. We'll spend 10-15 minutes eating (probably will take 20). We're just buying lunch, nothing fancy.

Smoot178 Posted April 15, 2009 Share #41 Posted April 15, 2009 Urbanfortitude will have his sticker for his name but I won't have one as if I had bought post-its I wouldn't have enough cash But I will be there, it looks like a larger group is going but we should be able to stick together!

MTR Admiralty Posted April 15, 2009 Share #45 Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks to all of those who came with us! While we didn't do much today, aside from "train hopping" on the F, the trip was certainly memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted April 15, 2009 Share #47 Posted April 15, 2009 I just got back from the trip. Despite the dreary weather it was fun. It started at Roosevelt Avenue terminal. I saw R160B8713, MTR, AWWang, and a few other people from NYCTF. We took the Q53 to the Rockaway Blvd station. The good news was that it was a RTS, not an Orion VII. From there we boarded the A train. We got a R44 with a railfan window. All was well until this chubby Asian cop boarded at JFK Airport. He saw one of the members making a video. He reprimanded the group but no one got arrested. At Broad Channel we got off and took a few pics. We took the R40 A train back to Jay Street. After a lunch break we took the R160 F train to Smith/9 street. We switched to a R46 F train and took that to Ditmas. Many people in the group wanted to ride the R32 or R42 F. However, it didn't come. We settled for another R160 F train and took that to Coney Island. At Coney Island a R32 F train pulled in. I was so angry. Unfortunately, everyone else was ecstatic. I took one for the team and boarded the R32 F train. We rode it back to Smith/9 street before going our own way. Despite riding the R32 I still had fun. Even though I'm only 24 I felt like an old man hanging out with a bunch of teenagers. Still, it felt good to railfan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted April 15, 2009 Share #48 Posted April 15, 2009 The cop was a jacka**, he was suspicious of the group. But he didn't come over and say that photography was allowed or something. All of the T/Os we passed looked at us funny, like total maniacs. I mean like, in your cab, do you want 7 cameras facing you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanfortitude Posted April 16, 2009 Share #49 Posted April 16, 2009 lol yeah seriously. But at least he couldn't ruin the trip. I loved the mass numbers of slants today. That was amazing! We even saw an R46 train. The bus ride turned out not to be so bad too. Hey Forest why were ya angry about the R32 showing up? We definitely gotta do this again guys. (Also for those who might be wondering...the white castles had no negative side-effects on me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
