damn. i missed this. okay, i'll simply respond like it hasn't been nine months since you posted it.

yes, railfan. rode the brighton "many" hundreds of times. but i'll explain myself.

in brooklyn, i feel that taking a surface transit service that connects with a rail line can be considered railfanning. most brooklyn bus routes...or many of them...used to be streetcar lines, so while it's a bit of a stretch, yeah, a railfan can do it.

that bus roughly parallels the brighton line. with brooklyn's grid pattern street design bus rides feel trolley-like anyway. and it connects with a remnant rail transit anomaly: the lirr nostrand avenue elevated station. it's a true elevated station, not on an embankment. it's a secondary non-terminal in-city commuter rail connection. i know we have a bunch of those but they're basically extinct anywhere else. maybe chicago, boston and philadelphia have similar stations but i'll bet none of them look like nostrand.

i digress. but i stand by this. if you take a bus that gets you to a train...the bus portion is "railfanning".
