Yes, I've been to Riverside Church many times. As a younster and then later to hear Fred Swann play the organ. Was even once consulted on the acoustics of the bell tower.
daveklepper Thanks for the correction. Yes, just "G?" Double letters have been out for about 25 years.

The MTA can call it the (G) train if they want. LION will always call it the (GG) Train. There are some things that should NEVER be changed.

The Route of the Broadway Lion The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota.
Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
Wizlish BroadwayLion (GG) Train. LION is not on the 5th Column. ROAR Is he on top of that paint stripe or white streak on the web of the first (rightmost) column?

Is he on top of that paint stripe or white streak on the web of the first (rightmost) column?
Yup. That is where the LION is hiding.
Your 24 hours to find the LION is (almost) up, therefore the LION wins this one.
He is standing on a bracket (or something) on the signal, blending in with the rust on the I beam.

Is that Lion's friend the baby bunny rabbit in the round light at the top of the column just to the right of the upraised arm of the guy in the white shirt at left?
Nope. The LION is down the other end of the platform, about even with the departing train.
Better look fast before he gets away.

Blew the image up as far as I could get it to go on this laptop and all I can see is a yellow tennis ball. The restricted depth of field in these shots is starting to kill my eyes.
But the LION is always in focus.
I think he is on that stairway in the distance, he is headed up to the street me thinks. Maybe tastery pickings up there.
Sitting next to the far right edge of the tunnel portal at the bottom, in between the utility box and the shed.
Yup, there is him, now he is hiding again...
He's not, ahem, noshing (to use a New York expression) on the child presumably in that stroller, right?
I heard on the news that for today's storm, they shut down the NY subway for the first time. Is that true?
Looks like the original "1"`line IRT South Ferry Station back in use while the new station is being rebuilt to recover from flood damage.
MidlandMike I heard on the news that for today's storm, they shut down the NY subway for the first time. Is that true?
Yes and no.
This is the first time that it has been shut down pro-actively, ahead of the storm with instructions for the residents to stay home or to be where they had to be before a planned shutdown.
It has been closed down by storms in the past at least partially, if not completely as per Sandy, but these were not planned closings, they were forced closings.
It has aslo been shut down totally due to strikes.
Even before Sandy there was a snow storm that crippled parts of the system, stranding people in trains for hours without powers.
In response to that I wrote to the Inspector General of the MTA with the suggestion of a phased shutdown of the system in the face of incoming weather, and that I called "Snow Plan-5". Plans 1-4 regard the protection and placement of equipment only. This plan was not to be called by the MTA so much as it was by the City governemnt in cooperation with police and fire.
LION has not the extreme hubris to presume that they adopted my plan, but it certainly looks like the one that I sent to the Inspector General.
The Mystery Express....
Find the Lion and Name that Train!
Looks like the R-74 Signal Supply Train pulled by an R-134 locomotive. (Plus other unidentified R-127/R-134s.)
Lion is sitting on the door sill of the second R-74.
Lion is eyeing the bumping post from in the bush at the edge of the elevated platform.
LION might be eying the bumper post (almost certainly is), but not from the bush.
LION is not sure when the picture was taken, but it surely was not last year, as him got not into the city in '14.
Yes, that is where him is sitting.
A LION on the rail is worth two in the Bush!
Looks like you foujnd both the LION and the Station.
