Back to Dyckman-200th Street looking sourth on the southbound platform with Lion post at the bottom of the drain pipe about 2/5ths up from the bottom to the top at the extreme left edge of the picture.
The Route of the Broadway Lion The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota.
Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
Well, I think he is at 8th Avenue....
ROAR
LION is perched atop the arrow on the sign so he can stay out of the way of passengers. I'm not familiar with New York so I don't know the location. LION should really visit Chicago.
My memories also. Rode the Mytle Avenue trolley its last night. Also Jamaica Avenue.
Yup
Ridewithmehenry trouped though there last fall...Stopped at Fresh Pond Rd for lunch and realized there was at one time a trolley line under the route of the M train and a bus garage, too. What hit me was that I had remembered seeing the line with trolley an eon or two ago as a kid! Today, weeds and bushes to the south and bus garage, nee trolley barn, on the right!

My face is red but a lot has changed at Metropolitan Avenue since I was there. Compass South there is also RR South. The current M reverses railroad direction between Essex and Delancy Street and Houston St. and 2nd Avenue or Broadway Laffyette.
daveklepper Looking west (RR north) at an eastbound (RR southbound) A train at the Grant Avenue Station in Brooklyn.

Looking compass south at Metropolitan Avenue in Queens at an arriving (M) train.
There is a white stripe running down the platform. Lion is next to that, about the same distance from the camera as the train.
The dark dot in the opening?
Actually, it is the light pouring in through the tunnel portal at Grant Avenue. The LION is standing on the right side of the tunnel at that point.
Not above the white light itself, but rather above the closest (or highest in the photo) of its reflections off shiney cross beams framing the subway structure. (It is not a light, it is a reflection of the light.)
Lion is on the white light at upper left. Good to see more pictures, thanks!
Lion is on the bottom right of the 2, on the right upper corner of the section roughly parallel to the outside square.
LION is leaning against the second pillar waiting for his train to arrive.
The tan sign with border on top about center frame has a drain pipe behind it. Up this is an elbow, LION is on top of this.
On the Crosstown Flushing LION
You caught some R127s or R134s. They are on my list, having avoided me so far.
Cats and trains...life is good!
My memory did not have so much of that station open to the sky and more in the tunnel. I can use the correction. Did you crop the photo to omit the portal portion of the station?
A local small cat with Lion's color has adopted me. It does not ask for food, just petting and general affection. I am bound by the Yeshiva's rule that Yeshiva students ARE NOT TO FEED THE CATS!!!
But the guards of the private security company would regard thqt as interference with Civil Liberties, and so one does feed this cat. (They are just as likely to be Israeli Army vets who are Circasian or Arab Christians, or Druze, very convenient when we need an electrical switch turned on on the Sabbath.).
It is on the IND. It is the 4th Avenue station.
LION is where you said.
Lion is carefully balancing himself standing on the apparently decorative post on the discolored fascia of the platform canopy located above the rear of the first gondola. Although there are features that confuse me, my best guess is the we are looking northeast from the Coney-Island-bound platform of the Sea Beach (N) 8th Avenue Station, the first stop east of 59th and 4th Avenue.
