ROAR
The Route of the Broadway Lion The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota.
Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
He's on the LED in the first row third from right almost directly above the numer plate on 6698.
Well done train shed, Lion!
That's him? I thought it was a bug that had gotten into the layout and was about to suggest Brother Lion get some Raid Indoor Fogger before things get out of control.
I've used it in the "Chugger Barn" here at the "Fortress Firelock." Good stuff.

If thats where he is, I only see copper wire and bulbs. Did the Lion get shrunk to the size of an led?
Yes, him was a 10 px LION.

It looks like LION is trying to take a trio out of the city.
Now what miserable SOB hung the Lion out to dry on the fence?
Somebody call PETA!
Looks like LIRR at LI City.

Yup, that be the place.

His powers evidently don't extend to running on the correct track or switching the headlights on instead of taillights. Or maybe it's just that he has bitten or clawed his way into the motorman's cab at the rear of the train for a brief sojourn between snacks...

I see 'im trackside under a tree, looking for prey.
I think he'd have better luck on the Cross Bronx Expressway, who knows how many Impalas are running around loose on that road?

O silly me, I was so intent on looking for the Lion I didn't pay attention to which way the train was going. At least I wouldn't have gotten run over.
Hangin' out in the flower bushes- strange, as it's impossible to drop down to the platform for a quick snack...
Now what's he doing up there in one of the platform lights? The only thing he's going to catch up there are bugs when the sun goes down and the lights come on!
Of course, he'll have plenty to choose from, especially if he's got a taste for moths. Remember "Dairy Queens" in the old days, in the middle of a summer night?

At the bend of the fence pole in the middle of the picture.
Looks like a Washington Metro cable problem on the outside of the rail to the right of the signal base

Probably not, it's not arcin' and sparkin'.
Was the last picture along Jamaca Bay?
Yes, Jamaica Bay... I remember the first time I went across there, the bay seemed so HUGE, and in those days there was a doubble fare to that part of the railroad. You paid an extra token to get out or two tokens to get in.

On the box just upper left of the lower 'JB5'. That was hard!
The Lion's got excellent taste in hot rods. Wonder how fast that thing goes with that rocket engine on it?
That is not a rocket engine, it is a Jet Engine, from a 747, I have been told. Not the big engine, that little one in the thail that provides hotel power to the aircraft.
The Blower (this one is JB5 --- so there are four others out there) is pointed down at the tracks at the FRONT of the machine and is used to blow snow (and ballast) off of the ROW. Really bangs up equipment if used in the lay-up yard.
There are newer ones that are conventional blowers, does not disturb the ballast as much, but does break the windows of neighboring houises and has been known to dump heaps of snow on people while they sleep.
What the heck, there is a price to be paid for keeping the railroad running. At least the railroad CAN claim to have been there first.
I believe that the CTA has one or two of those for its ground-level yards.
