I don't see the lion in this one, but I don't care, that's one fascinating looking station!  Where is it?

Lion is on the end of the other platform.

This is 168th Street on the IRT West Side Line, one of three bored from bedrock and one of the deepest on the A Division. Because most of the stations were built close to the surface as a cut-and-cover operation, these stations had to be designed differently. The others are 181st Street and 191st Street.

The station definitely has the appearance of a hybrid from a New York IRT station and a Chicago CTA station in the State Street subway.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

LION is not down by the track. Him not go in unsafe places. Hime is perched on a conduit above the signal.

Well, that's good.  I'm sure LION could leap out of the way of any approaching train but it's those insidious germs in all that garbage along the tracks that has me worried.

I mean, we don't want LION to get sick and die!

LION is going to ride tonight's Empiire Builder MOT-CHI-WAS-RMT.

Him will take tablet (in carrion) and a laptop in the checked bag. Don't know if I can use WiFi on AMTK or even if the tablet will work. I'vv visit the diner while on vacation, but I cannot post pics until I get back since I cannot access my servers from outside of our newtork.

 

Him will C U in September....

Watch out for the Vultures for they like dead Lion meat, (carrion).

Sorry for the bad pun. Not.
