Same Bridge, Different Scale. LION is still hidden.

Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
Lion,
I like that shot, with the bridges and track work.
BTW: He's sitting under the awning that is on the building, in the upper right corner.
That is an interesting piece of trackwork up there. First it is the only purpose built IND line that was elevated. Second, not only does it cross the canal, but the track work crosses over the top of several four story buildings, also on bridge work. We are looking west from the 4th Avenue station. Four tracks go up across the rest of the bridge, but one track in the middle ducks down to a dead end about 300' in. It is pointed the wrong way to stage city bound trains there. Some say something about a post-office train that laid up there, but nobody really knows for sure. Not quite as mysterious as other IND contrivances, at least this one is out in front for all to see.
ROAR
Is that a couger, or mountain lion, I see, sprinting at the right side, of that beam?
Or a ''puddy tat''?
P.S. What do You think it is, Shanny10?
A puma, a mountain lion and a couger are all the same animal depending on who hung up the sign in the zoo that you are visiting. IIRC, the animal is listed as a "puma" but here in North Dakota we just call them "lions." They live in this area so you do not need to be in a zoo to see one. The Game and Fish website suggest that you do not behave like food if you see one.
Thanks, forgot all about, Puma's. I've seen, some, wweeaal one's, through, a scope,on a 30/30 wifle, around, Culberston,MT. Some moon's ago.
Here is ASLAN himself, the railroad's mascot, at Dyckman Street. This one will be modeled into the layout at the end of the Broadway Line. He is NOT hiding.
Where? I don't see him.
Alton Junction
Looks like he is going to stomp that little red house, maybe someone in there is behaving like food

Big little lion just above the plug labeled Relay
Nope, just the three. The cables are waxed, and so spreazd wax onto the paper when soldered. That is all.
right-hand jaw of that open ended wrench.

The LION might be on that insturment, but it is not a wrench. It is the Reversing Key. You cannot move the train without the reversing key. Each motorman has his own reversing key and brake handle. That other object is the brake handle. These objects are numbered, and they know who it belongs to (or at least who lost it before it came into my possession.
There are still some trains that requyire these tools to move the train.
The brake handle actually looks like something - the reverser, on the other hand, looks like an open end wrench, no special shapes, nothing - I guess in a pinch I could control train direction with a wrench then. At least locomotive reverser keys kind of look like they are actually keyed
A full house at 34th Street! The LION is hiding.
I think he is poking his head out around paint bottle.
That would be,my guess, too!! I don't believe, it is a paint, bottle though.
Not every bit of fuzz (especially on my layout) is a LION. This LION is riding on a train.
You're, cheating, that shot is a little blurred, but I tink, he is on the,top front corner, of the first silver car, on the second track,from the top? Next to the red light.
Correct! Him is sitting on the head lamp.
I may have put him there and then reduced the picture to fit a browser instead of the reducing the picture first and then pasting the LION in there.
Oh weill, you got him!
The Express Train runs the helix down to 34th Street. LION is hiding.
Uh oh, big derailment of the subway train today in the bronx. Lion must be on the scene.

No, not the subway. It was a Metro-North commuter train: 7 Bombs and a Gennie. (7 Bombardier cars and a Gennisus Locomotive at the rear.) The line runs at 70 mph along the Hudson River but drops to 30 for the curve into Spuyten Dyvil. Speed appears to be a factor: leaves may have caused the train to slide when brakes were applied. (Sure wish spiellchecke worked here).
