Up on top of the lamp column, facing left.  And NOT down underneath the black panel in the railing ... what is making the little tawny spot there?

LION is on the floodlight atop the interlocking tower.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

The LION is not in the cab. I think he is on top of that exhausty thing above the 280 number.

This is in the Bronx, on the Dyer Avenue Line. It used to be a four track line once upon a time, and so the southbound track is hidden on the other side of those grape vines.

I am trying to determine the location of this photo. There are absolutely NO single-track regular service routes on New York's subway system.  However, there is a locaton between Wycoff and East New York, on route "L", where the track in one direction (I think eastbound  ---or railroad southbound) is in the open, and the track for the opposite direction in a subway below. But I don't remember the stretch as straight and as long.   Also, the switch bothers me. I don't recall any South Brooklyn RR switched industries on the line.

But on the LIRR Port Washington branch, north of Great Neck........

He's sitting on the wheel of the air compressor just to the right of the tracks.

Picture posted 2/27: after eating all the food, Lion is poking his head out of the bag with the red label. 

Today's picture: on the top left end of the light bar near where it anchors to the roof.

He's at the left of the tan rectangle (PA speaker?) at the top of the green pillar.

Is that a lion I see waiting for a 6 car train? At the 168th St station on the 8th Av line. For some reason I remember the IRT platforms better. During the summer my Mom and I used to go hiking in the Adirondacks before Mom had a car. We used to take the IRT from 125th St to 168th St then the IND to 175th St and Trailways to near Lake Placid.

LION still thinks that he's a leopard.  He's in the prominent tree to the left of the right-of-way.

125th St on the #1 Broadway line again. Huge difference a lens and move a few feet on the platform makes. Thx IGN
 

Yup. I like those buildings and am trying to find a way to put them on my layout.

So far I am not happy with the perspectives I was able to get.
