Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Fri Dec 28 23:10:08 2012, in response to Where on the NYC subway have you NOT been?, posted by zac on Fri Dec 28 09:25:37 2012. I covered everywhere that I hadn't been a few years ago. Since then, the new South Ferry station has opened, so I will have to visit it. Even though I have been on the Queens Blvd line several times, I'm not sure that I've been on the local segment between 36 St and Northern Blvd (where the local tracks diverge from the express via Steinway St and Broadway), so I will cover that the next time in NYC as well.As far as trackage no longer with us, I've done the Culver Shuttle and the J to 168 St. Never got to the lower Myrtle or 3rd Av el (Bronx only, south of 149 St went away several years before I was born). MJ couldn't be helped, never had reason to be on it, and it went away before I was old enough to railfan (though I was riding trains solo in 1969, but usually only to go over to my grandmother's house near Newlots Av on the then 2 (now 3 and 4). 3rd Av el was my own fault, as I was a teenager by then and was old enough to railfan solo. Didn't help that I was living in Illinois when it shut down in 1973, and was only in NYC in the summer and at Christmas time. Didn't do Hammels wye, but back when I railfanned the Rockaways (during winter regents time in 1975), it wasn't in use during the daytime. Rode the A to Far Rockaway (previously, I had only gone as far as Straiton), then up to Broad Channel, got the HH to Rockaway Park. At that time, I thought that I had covered the whole system as it existed in early 1975, forgetting that I had never been to 207th St on the A! And I was on the A at that time, coulda just stayed on...actually, I might not have had time, anyway, I took care of that 31 years later, better late than never. :) Maybe at this point, I'll wait until the 7 extension opens and cover that. |
