Nice! What was the occasion?

Other than weekday evenings I can't even see one on the inner loop.

Would it spoil some divine plan if the #5 could stop at South Ferry, using the same platform as the #1? They used to do it from 7PM-1AM.

Some kind of work between Hoyt and Chambers sent northbound 2 trains up the east side.

Because of that, 5 trains replaced the 2 between Chambers and 149 Street.

It used to be when they do this they would allow a transfer from the uptown 2 to the downtown 5 at Bowling Green (to allow people to get to the west side) but judging by the emptiness of the 5 I guess they weren't doing it that time...

Do you mean "the" end of each car, or is "da" a new word for "the"???

Chris explained it to me, it's acceptable. I guess that would be OK in a job cover letter or spoken in a job interview. :)

There were people aboard that 5 train as it passed through South Ferry.

Ah, I see them.

Still it may not have been intentional that they were allowed. A homeless guy in the 5th car and a few confused looking folk in the 7th... and the signs say last stop.

It stayed in service through the loop. Passengers were told to transfer at Bowling Green.

The signs say LAST STOP because the train crews don't know how to properly set up the train for this service pattern. They probably had the last stop set as Chambers Street.
