The Ridewithmehenry guys were there the week before Memorial Day this year...Nathan's and many others there were scurrying to finish repairs from Sandy so they could open the following week for the season. But they did direct us to the Nathan's on the Boardwalk right around the corner. And it was standing room only!
RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
You cannot go to Coney Island without visiting Nathans and eating their hot dogs.
The redid the inside of the store, perhaps this will help eliminate some of the long lines at their counters.

narig01I was looking at the yellow R-36's (I think). Neat. IIRC a lot of the heavier maintenance for cars on the 7 line is done at Coney Island. So it is not uncommon to see those IRT cars at Coney Island. As usual good pictures.Thx IGN
Yes (7) train cars are serviced at Coney Island, but this is not a (7) train which is still using R-62s. As R-188s come on line they will go to the Flushing Line in anticipation of automation. The R-62s will probably go to the (4) line, maybe also the (6).
Anyway LION went to Coney Island, just once this year, as it turn out. I usually go there with every trip I make into the city, but this is what I did.
Almost to Coney Island, I snap a picture of some yardbirds from a moving train. LION is not sure what the IRT cars (far left) are doing in a CI yard, maybe they are of the R-188 class (rebuilt R-142s for automated service on the (7) train).
Continuing south on the Sea Beach Line...
Lion has just returned from vacation with several hundred new pictures. Here is one along the Sea Beach Line, with the NY&A tracks visible to the left of the transit line.
