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.

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.

I hope that the Lions are looking for the way to Nathan's.

A little off topic but. …
A few years back the Bronx discovered a new bit of wildlife. Coyotes howling in the bite. Now there is a population there that is also in Westchester county. What they expect next are wolves.
Thanks again for the memories.
Thx IGN

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.
