I went to the High School right next to the Metropolitan Ave, and that HS is a railfan's dream!! We had the subway going back and forth all day long on one side of the building, and the occasional Conrail train next to the M trains.Then the other side (back) of the building had the LIRR going back and forth all day long on the Montauk Branch, which included deadhead passenger moves, engine moves, freight, etc. And to top it all off, in the distance you could see LIRR Fresh Pond yard, and switching all day long in the freight yard. Let me tell you, when those B23-7 Conrail engines (usually 3, and those are the ones they used to use on that line) would come by on the NY Connecting RR, you certainly knew it, the entire building shook. If you were in class in that side of the building, the teachers sometimes had to stop talking for a minute or two to allow them to pass. And then 50+ car freight train! That school was truley a school in the middle of RR tracks! You as a teacher would even have been distracted!! |
