Oh, I know it's a jet engine, and a snow-blower on steroids, i'm just having a little fun here.
I wonder, what would happen if they kept the exhaust nozzle in the horizontal, pointed that rig down the tracks, and let 'er rip? Might be a helluva ride! Maybe not like when the NYC put those jet engines on that RDC, but close!
I would guess that the signal light facing the water is on the north side of Jamaica Bay on the A line branch serving the Rockaways, on the route formerly used by the LIRR. Looking southeast.
Somewhere in Brooklyn?

Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
Vanna, show me a 'F'
Is that photoshoped or did you climb up there?

Nice job but Mr. Lion does look to be on the sign and not "hanging by a thread" nor "GREEN SCREENED". So how does Mr. Lion appear to be fifty feet in the air?
The sign is 18 stories tall. The LION is on part of the letter "F". The lettering has ledges, probably strong enough to stand on.
That building was once upon a time a theater, there used to be a street in front of it. Allof the land and the buildings were joined together by the KenTile Company, which in turn was destroyed by the Asbestos Cricis. Law sutes and all.
The sign was only removed this past year.
As for the 1:87 scale picture, the LION is *not* on the sign, but is elsewhere, and has not been found yet.
So how did the lion get up there?

As I've said before, "The Lion has powers..."
On the HO layout, I think I see a little orange furball in the window just to the left of the route placard.

Nope that not him.
Well, Lady Firestorm says if that's not him in the car then he's dead under the train!
She had to put her glasses on, she's not happy.
On the other hand, the Lion under the train might make a great "Daily News" or "New York Post" cover. They just LOVE that stuff!

Poor Lion got run over by a train.
Poor Lion got run over by a train. Got hit in the head by the track trip device. Between third rail and top rail bottom track between the 3rd & 4th lamp.
THAT is NOT a LION. The LION is NOT on the tracks. Him is ALWAYS in a safe place.
OK, Lion's on the fence, just to the left of the third lamp from the right.
Lady Firestorm found him this time. Now she DEMANDS to know just WHERE L'il Lion is in the subway car shot!
Eithet that, or she's sending Ginger our attack basset after you!
Lion says "Roar," Ginger says "Ah-rooo!"

Camoflaged in those orange rocks, I might have guessed.
Come on man, that ain't fair! Then again, the jungle ain't fair either...
I think the Lion on the fence photo is actualy on your model railroad and the apartment building and tree are a photo diarama scenery effort on your part.

LION appears to be a qualified IRT motorman.
I don't think that is a LION...
Got 'im! Sitting on the post those five yellow thingies are leaning against.
I need some Tylenol now.
What ARE those thingies anyway?
Those are five lamps. They are wires in series so that they can be connected between ground and the third rail. Normally they are white work lamps to provide light in a tunnel, these are yellow and take the place of a yellow flag.
So THAT'S what those thingies are! Thanks for the input!
It's a wasted day if you don't learn something new!
