Spend some time in the Broadway branch of the Queens Library (on Broadway just east of Steinway St in Astoria) and you'll feel the vibrations of the M and R trains below. The library is built directly on the tracks, as this is where they turn from Steinway St onto Broadway under private property, including the library. The sidewalk grate is on 41 St south of Broadway, not on Broadway itself, since the tracks haven't yet reached there. You can hear the clickety-clack of the track joints, and you can easily tell if the train is slowing down (Manhattan-bound, entering Steinway St) or speeding up (Forest Hills-bound, leaving Steinway St). Those tracks are embedded in concrete. |
