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....

Yeah, talk about a man on a mission!  SubwayNut looks like he doesn't want to leave ANYONE out!

Glad to see it doesn't neglect the Pacific Northwest!

Now back to the Lions.

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.

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!

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 Smile.

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.

Lion is on the back of the man in red's shirt.

That platform edge on the right looks pretty rough!

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.

Firelock-too fast!

747 tail engine, interesting. Still an impressive unit.

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.

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?

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?
