Dashing through the Snow...
Jet Powered snow blower resting in the summer sun.
The Route of the Broadway Lion The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota.
Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
Happy New Year, Lion!
Lion is on the cap of the closest tank with the "JB5" sticker on it. (Cap is on top of the tank.)
Those things are really loud, right?
Happy New Year Lion!
Say, if they keep that jet nozzle at the horizontal, instead of pointing it at the tracks, how fast fast will that thing go?
I am told that this is an engine from a 474. No not the main propulsion engines. That little one in the tail for hotel power.
ROAR
Firelock-too fast!
747 tail engine, interesting. Still an impressive unit.
LION trade the Beech 116 Street Yard for the cozy confines of 14th Street.
BTW: You will need to find all THREE LIONS in this photo.
Oh, a challenge!
1-On wire to the right of the rightmost pillar at top.
2. On woman wearing white's hand touching her head, center of frame.
3. On women at left, on left side of red-yellow-green purse.
Very good. Only one LION today...
Lion is on the back of the man in red's shirt.
That platform edge on the right looks pretty rough!
What's wrong with *that* Platform...
Your 14th Street Station photo is on the 7th Avenue line, but I cannot figure whether you are facing east or west. At Dyckman St., some old faulty workmanship and the effects of weather and possibly loads far in excess of design estimates have cause the shown section of the northbound platform to buckle or collapse and we see a very temporary repair. Probably that very night after you took the picture, starting at 11pm, a complete redo of the section of the platform took place, open for business the next morniing by 6am.
That platform is worse than the one I commented on a couple days back!
Call the fire department, a cat is in a tree at Dyckman St! Oh, nevermind, it's the Lion .

Well, not exactly. That station has been out of service for MONTHS, maybe a whole year, but it is now repaired and back i service. Nice job too...
LION admires his handiwork!
Say Lion, I just found this website today, don't know if you're aware of it:
www.subwaynut.com
All transit rail, all the time, from ALL over. Have a look everyone!
worth a look
Glad to see it doesn't neglect the Pacific Northwest!
Now back to the Lions.
Yeah, talk about a man on a mission! SubwayNut looks like he doesn't want to leave ANYONE out!
SubwayNut is well known to me, I have several of his audios in my train room, intermixed with music from the 60s and 70s.
Here, the LION is on the Flushing Line....
Lion may correct me, but my memory says 1 & 3 were railroad north, in this case also geographical northbound, and 2 and 4 southbound.
The Brooklyn end of the Canarsie line is a case with geography and railroad designations are opposite.
The Coney Island Yards. Good place for LIONS to hide.
Looking eaastward towward MacDonald Avenue with the "F" Culver elevated structure and the south end of Avenue X station, from the yard. Old redbirds now work motors, with R44's or R46's behind.
OK, I see the little Lion's doing what comes naturally, hiding in the tall grass waiting for an impala to come within striking distance.
Poor little guy, this is Coney Island and not the Serengeti. Any impala he sees is going to have "Chevrolet" on its flanks!
With the fluting that is visible at 400X zoom, I'd say those might also be R68s, it is hard to see if they have a middle one between the outsides.
My impression is that they are 75-foot cars, thus R-44 or R-46. Am I wrong?
They are 75 foot cars, but the R-68s are also 75 footers. Further down the line you can buy frankfooters.
Along with the post of this that came to me via email, there is an advertisement selling gun cases. Is someone hunting lions in this area?

LION is dangling from the crane, he seems to be willing to go to great lengths to get that perfect shot
