Once upon a time I was in my 68 Nova riding on Roosevelt Ave. stuck at a red light at 90th st. Suddenly a Flushing bound express (R-33/36) comes flying by above, my guess at about 50mph with a noise that Van Gough could hear...even now!.The unsetteling aspect of this observation is that the whole elevated structure was visibily swaying with the passing train. You could see it move side to side with the gentle twitching of the girder suspended traffic lights. I remember that the track was in rough shape on that section back then, slow orders were not to be found there so you got a good rock & roll on that ride & it showed from underneath. When the train went side to side, it took the structure with it Haven't been there in awhile. My guess, like many other spots in the system, timers are there now, so no more rock & roll! |
