Heh. Same here ... but then there are priorities too. What level of attention would you give this place while you're chasing yellows downhill on a bridge? My visits here and the spurts of activity on my part are done after I've written some code and waiting for the compiler to finish cranking out code for me to check my work with. So for me, "chat" is like sitting at a ball watching an (N) barrel past to my left waiting for my lineup to come in. :)

Oh no, I can't do that! ;)

Actually Brooklyn is one of the places that I most want to visit. Queens too! But TPOA did last post on subchat in one of those threads where I joked about Brooklyn and then Edwards gave him a hard time for telling people in LA that he is from NYC instead of saying Brooklyn. I don't think that he posted on subchat after that thread. Could be a coincidence.

My original handle...when I first started posting in 1998... But only occasionally posted, I was more of a lurker. The odd thing is, I can't remember what I used. I started as:

-"Something", but posted rarely (like once every few months) until 2001. I have to look through the archives oneday to try and find it.
-Then I posted as "GP38".
-Then I became GP38 Chris to make it more personal.
-Then Subtalk went down, and SubChat came up. I began SubChat as "R42 Chris" for a short time, which I thought was obvious who I was, but people didn't realize it was me, so I slashed the GP38 back on the front, hence the "GP38/R42 Chris" now.

Yeah I thought that I saw lots of "GP38 Chris" posts when reading the subchat archives. Remember on subchat when you asked something about how far the blue line Anaheim station was from Disneyland? You're not the first person to confuse Anaheim street with the city of Anaheim. I bet that lots of people even make the trip without realizing it. Well I started posting here shortly after that thread.

It's not the first time something's come up on Subchat before the MTA did it. I'm sure we all remember David of Broadway's analysis of why the (1)/(9) skip-stop didn't work. That was just railfan fantasy, but the numbers did in fact add up just like that, and the MTA eventually realized the same thing.

One hundred years from now

Posted by E_DOG on Mon Sep 10 20:58:15 2001

One hundred years from now, assuming that an H-bomb or an earthquake (it is possible you know) doesn't wipe the place out I wonder what the transit system in New York will look like. I doubt not that the underground portion of the subway system will be intact. Most of the Els, but possibly not all of them, will be gone as well as some of the East River bridges. I'm pretty sure that the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings as well as the World Trade Center will still be around though I suspect that the rest of the skyline will be up for grabs. There will still be a Pennsylvania and Grand Central Station with the LIRR going to the latter. None of us will be around to see it but I doubt not that it will be interesting.
