Me and you shared the railfan window from TS to Main Street. You had the Mets jacket on. I knew who you were, but I like my anonymity. |

The numerous photos I have of the day say otherwise. So, you decide to pick a random Subchatter and come up with a random theory that said person is making things up? |

Yeah, my Mets jacket gives it away. Hey - last week when I was getting a ticket to board a Q70 bus to LGA, the driver said, "The only reason I waited was because you're a Met fan." |

In our faith we look through death..it rises through at every turn.The hands of time ever continue,with death has no sting. The quater hour has come for you,yet there is no fear...for only the dead things,the soulless quake in the dark. Be hardy...courageous..valiant..for time cannot be the enemy. Faithlessness can. |

I also had my own "last run" on the Redbirds- it was Monday, October 6, 2003. I knew the end was coming, but at least as I remember it, the TA was being vague as to exactly when that would be, and I had no "inside source".So- on that nice fall day, I rode out to Flushing- I'm not sure if it was a 62 or a Redbird (more likely a Redbird)...but I definitely caught a Redbird that I rode to Grand Central. I noticed a few other people with cameras that day as well. My next time on the IRT-SMEEs was on the Fan Trip (I think it was March of Dimes) on Sunday, June 20, 2004. |
