My mom lived in Woodside by herself at the time after my father died.I'd visit & stay overnight once a week. Then the next morning I'd walk to 61st to catch a #7 local (only) to the city to get to work. While waiting for my train, an express would always come thru w/o stopping. Sometimes those expresses would fly thru. Once a train was going so fast I could see the last truck of the last car shimmy side to side. I believe the railroad term is "hunting".
Often wondered what the speed limit was for subway trains that highballed stations. Some trains would crawl thru.

Anyway, the locals & many LIRR folks that used the station screamed like hell. The TA caved & express service resumed.
