Here are a few of my shots from this past Sunday, when a spur of the moment chase of the Lo-Vs resulted in meeting some of Subchat's best!! Also, we see some all-stars of the NYCT rails, which starred in Sunday's outing!! Why not take a look??? I figured you would!! :-)

First, I started with some standard issue R-142s on the #4, the current All Stars of the #4 @ 161st Street

Now, enter our ol' school All Stars!!! The famous IRT Lo-Vs

Tootin' her way up M Track

With Yankee Stadium as a backdrop, and the folks were shootin', and yes even the officer was shootin'!! (No pun intended.....unless you want there to be!! :-D)

Now, as the chase now head north up the #4 Line, some more All Stars (and rather suspicious lookin' characters) were observed en route!! Can you identify this "characters"?????

First they didn't even know they were being shot

SHIT!!! My cover was blown!!! :-D

(Does the guy in the black ever put that camera down??? :-D)

SMILE!!! You're on Candid Camera!!! :-D

Now, at Burnside Avenue

A lowly set of R-142s gets ready to head north to Woodlawn

And southward to Manhattan and Brooklyn

Now arriving on M Track at Burnside Avenue, the ol' school All Stars on their next trip south to 149th Street - Grand Concourse, commanded on the south end by T/O Derrick S.

Time for some up-close looks......

Some conductor's views from the operating position between the cars
(How I would LOVE to be conductor on these!!!! And since I couldn't actually shot from the actual position, I did these as best and as safely as I can!!)

Now, she takes in quality time @ Mosholu Parkway, M Track

Thank you all for viewing!! Hope you have enjoyed!! Many of the great photographers posted shots here similar to some of what I have, so do forgive me for that for any similarities!!! And tune in for my next part, where I illustrate the other All Stars of this day!!! :-)

5483 doesn't look a day over 80!:)

I'd love to play conductor on the R-1/9s myself. I used to get the biggest kick out of watching conductors slap the caps.

Are you gonna be out during the upcoming Arnine trips to C.I. and The Rockaways???? I am thinking about that spot by the South Channel Bridge you shot from as my next location to shoot them. Hope I see you those times too!! And would be nice if our other good contributors here on Subchat came out too!!
