Enjoyed the TOMC very much. It was also definitely worth it to go down to Rockaway Boulevard to check out the Howard Beach shuttle wrong-railing operation they had going.

Enjoy, and please subscribe!


Starting off with the obligatory RFW footage:




And some more TOMC footage:

















Some non-TOMC 42nd Street Shuttle Footage:




And Lastly, some A, C, and Wrong Railing Footage:




The Rockaway Boulevard-Howard Beach Shuttle Arrives:








Wrong Railing Footage:

Heh, they sure took their time coming into Times Square on Track 1. It was a weekend, after all. :-)

There is just enough clearance at T/Sq for the trains on their respective tracks so of course it would be slow coming up against the block.

I see the usual bunch of loud, obnoxious, worthless, socially inept railfans that ruined the holiday train last December didn't miss this one. I mean I hear them.

You know who you are.

The holiday train is easy to avoid the obnoxious types - there's 8 cars afterall.

Another reason the full 10 car TOMC would be ideal :).

I tried all 8 cars. They move. It was thoroughly unenjoyable when I went, I did a single round trip between QN and 2 Av and just gave up.

This groups was beyond the pale obnoxious. They screamed, one or two were dressed like women, they literally lost their minds when an R46 F train arrived at 2nd Ave, to the point of trampling unsuspecting people on their way to film it, screaming IT'S AN R46 OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!. 1575 was a bit of a refuge for the trip back to Queens, but by then I'd had enough and went home to watch the rest of the Giants being slaughtered.

Dear lord! Sorry to hear. Last year I only took it for partial trips and would usually move around so maybe I lucked out.

I guess railfan drama will always be a problem on these... I miss the MOD trips :(.

I've resigned to the fact that they will be there. Better to ride the old trains with these folks than to never ride them imo.

If you can, try and go in the morning. The first couple of runs in the morning barely have anyone on them, so no screaming/loud foamers in the train.

Regular attendees of the MOD fantrips would recognize some of them. A couple even post here. I was so embarassed by their behavior, I purpously didn't ID myself as a railfan to anyone.

The look(s) on Bill Wall's face were priceless, and you know he's probably seen it all.

Yea if possible the best thing to do would to go in the morning. There may be a couple of those crazy foamers there at that hour, but they aren't in a group, so they don't make much noise.
