What do you know about the New York Westchester and Boston? Electric Ry.
Today the only part of it left running is the Dyre Avenue Line of the IRT.
Here is more info on the NYW&B
Now, visiting in Brooklyn, Shaggy LION inspects the Brighton line.
ROAR
The Route of the Broadway Lion The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota.
Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
Also, more is here-http://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/New_York,_Westchester,_and_Boston_Railway
This is a great website for mass transit around NYC.
Lion, loving the pictures, keep it up!
The Speedy Cheater pilots the (B) train out on the Brighton Line.
No time to chat. Gotta CATCH a train. These LIONS are at Dyckman Street in Manhattan and it looks like that (1) train is getting away from them.
The Speedy Cheater brings the (W) train into the Queensboro Plaza station. There are four tracks there today, once upon a time there were eight.
125th Street may have become gentrified, but all the LION sees here is a noonday snack. Maybe the lady did not see the LION, but that is not the problem of the LION.
Bushy LION is in Canarsie checking out the then new R143 subway cars.
The LION must have frightened the poor trains, here is one that tried to get away...
The (L) line is under Computer Based Train Control (CBTC), but the yards are not computerized, so this unit was under the control of a motorman. The unit had just come off of the wash rack when the operator had a seizure. Car has not been returned to service.
Veemila is a wonderful White Bengal tiger of my acquaintance. It seems like she traveled from the Dakota Zoo in Bismarck to South Ferry in Manhattan looking for tasty morsels to pounce upon. I for one, did not know that the (1) made a stop in Bismarck, but there you are.
ASLAN watches over Nigel, Kingston, Bushy, Shaggy, and Speedy as they prepare to that the Museum train of Low V's out on the road.
All Aboard!
The LIONS are ganging up on the (1) Train. This station has since then been completely refinished.
Here is rebuilt station.
A LION, from the Dakota Zoo in Bismarck happened to be visiting the new (now defunct) South Ferry Station at the same time as I. Perhaps he sees a Wildebeest on that arriving train.
An (L) Train ducks into the tunnel from the East New York Station (Or whatever they have decided to call it this year). Bushy LION (dressed in his safety vest) is inspecting the trains as they go by. I tried to get on top of that portal to take pictures from it, but that is not possible for it is also the roof of an automobile repair place on the street intersection there. I will have to content myself with this fine shot.
Do NOT follow the Rabbit into the hole....
Oh Geesh... Now look at what you have done!
Riding on the point of an R-62 on the Dyer Avenue Line, we hare photographing through both the inner window and the storm door window. The inner window has a prism like glass that keeps the car lights from disturbing the motorman. It also adds funny effects to the photograph. The LION might be one of those effects, or there might actually be mountain lions in the Bronx. For those as who were unaware, there is more parkland in NYC than in any other US city.
This will slow the Speedy Cheater down a bit. Put him on "C" Division!
Forty Second Street on the Broadway Line (That must be the Broadway LION, eh?) What he be thinking of?
Speedy Cheater commandeered a (Q) train on the Brighton Line!
Bushy LION inspects a temporary platform on the Brighton Line.
LIONS travel to Coney Island looking for food.
I hope that the Lions are looking for the way to Nathan's.
Somebody say NATHANS?
Bushy LION is inspecting some of the mane lion with some temporary track work.
Bushy LION is inspecting the passing motorpeoples...
LIONS (mountain, puma, etc.) are indigenous to the United States. That there should be some in Brooklyn should come as no surprise.
And just WHAT does that kitty propose to do with that commuter train once he catches it?
I guess he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it!
Kingston LION watches the foamers take pictures of the Sea Beach Line just outside of Coney Island. Like any good LION he likes his foamers kept in cages to protect his railroad.
Veemila pops out of nowhere to take on the (N) train in Brooklyn...
Franklin, the Carmel LION (a Webkins animal) is perched in the honeysuckle along the Sea Beach line.
LION RACES today on the Sea Beach!
I guess this must be the FINISH LION...
