ROAR
The Route of the Broadway Lion The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota.
Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
Finally, one I can spot easily! Always enjoy your photos.
Good to have you back, Lion, and I hope your trip was a very successful and happy one. I'm looking forward to more pictures!
Oh boy, more Lions! The traaaaan-zit category just ain't the same without 'em!
Did I put the proper Northeast inflection on transit?
The Lion should visit Chicago, there are lots of interesting places on the L.
I DO NOT LIKE THE WAY THAT 4-8-2 LION IS LICKING HIS CHOPS...
My gusses, after about a 19-year or more absence, is the end of the line elevated station is at the end of the M on Metropolitan Avene, looking west, Columbus Circle is definitely the downtown local platform on the 1 line, looking north, and the bottom picture is on Smith Street at Carol Street, on the northbound platform looking south. The R44 or R46 on the right is as noted on the sign an F, while the incoming train is one of the "new Technology" R-types on the G.
Brother Lion, that is one spectacular painting! By the way, I saw your little buddy perched on one of the girders waiting to pounce, hopefully on some unsuspecting subway mugger!
Back to the painting, it's full of life, action, and color. Who's the artist?
The photo of the two (F) trains is at West 8th Street in Brooklyn (near Coney Island... The (Q) train is on the upper level) You can click on the photo to get a bigger view of it. The train and the station are clearly marked.
Columbus Circle is a gimmie, and the bottom photo is 242nd Street on the (1) train.
There are LIONS hidden in each frame, and they are larger LIONS than the last time I did this.
Painting? LIONS do no paintings, is just HD program gone wild.
LION looks lost in thought.
i thought it might be 242, but the walkway over to Van Courtland Park was added after my last visit to that station. Anyway, thanks for the correction. At least I got the right platform at 59th on the 1. I should have figured West 8th, but my eyes deceived me (at 83) into thinking the train on the left, the incoming train was a G, not an F, and G's don't run to West 8th. Or do they now on special Coney Island festivities?
The wye photograph is probably at Bay50th on what is now the D line but for many years was the B, the first station north of Stillwell Avenue, the first on the West End elevated structure. The left track is for pull-ins and putouts that start and terminate at Bay Parkway, the right for the Coney Island Stillwell jobs. The latter can have a straight run south from the yard to the Stillwell terminal and return, but that involves sharing some tracks with the N line, and the wye avoids this interference.
Or is it some other yard connection?
Again, this is remembering something unseen for 19 years.
And is the top photo at Canarsie?
daveklepperAnd is the top photo at Canarsie?
No. I had to think twice about this, but it is from this years crop of photos, and I did not get out to Canarsie this year. It could be any one of the Stilwell lines, I went out there every trip, just to get some hot dogs, but I think that they are not as good as I remembered them.
In any event, LION was playing with some of the settings on his camera, him found some that would stabilize a photo from a moving train. But you were never sure exactly when the shutter would open. It just happened as I was shooting from a side window.
I see a jazz lion waiting for the A Train (it's the quickest way to get to Harlem).
The wye is then definitely south of the Bay50 station on West End, now the D but probably was the B when you took the photo from the side window of a northbound train looking east. 145th looks to me like a modernized IRT station, not the 145th and Nicholous that the A uses, so it looks like the No. 3 line station on Lenox Avenue, renamed ? I think you are looking south on the northbound platform, you and the lion at the base of second column, very easy and obvious to find, a gimme, are already in Harlem and have no choice but to either exit or ride one stop north to 149th Lenox Terminal.
Is IRT train on the Broadway Line.

So the picture of the two F trains is a photo? Interesting the way it was processed, if that's the correct word anymore. I could have sworn it was a photo-realist painting. It's a great shot at any rate, you can practically hear the roar and rumble of the trains.
Well, at least I got the IRT right, and 145th and Broadway is also in Harlem.
IRT-50St15905
Beautiful photo of one of the oldest signs on the whole system. The little Lion is near the upper right corner. This must be located at 50th Street and Broadway, since the equivalent stop on the Lex. is at 51st, not 50th. This sign was part of the original 1904-opening subway construction. Don't know whether it is on the east (northbound) or west (southbound) platform of the No. 1 Line.
On the Southbound side. LION did not take any northbound pictures.
Li'l Lion's under the "Stay Off The Friggin' Tracks, Ya Dummy!" sign.
Isn't it amazing some people have to be told this?
And what a beautiful photo! Composition, color, everything!
Is it at 238th and Broadway on the southbound platform looking south? (1 Line)
