So, how does one railfan on the TA without an RFW?I grew up with Metropolitan stock on the E & F in the 1980s, so the entire idea of not seeing out front isn't foreign to me. Hell, I've been on a number of foreign systems where that's been the case, and it hasn't been the end of the world. There's always the beautiful whine of AC traction, that feeling of acceleration when the train takes off, the view out of the window, and the aesthetics of the rolling stock and stations, so railfanning isn't just all about the view out front unless you're signal geek*. Go out there and explore other systems, as there's a big wide world outside of NYC! And if you really want a railfan view, go ride a ZPTO system like SkyTrain or Docklands Light Rail! *Plus, I collect RFID cards from my travels. :-) |
