Cant wait til I hear the announcements on the J. I want to railfan the J, but I dont have much time on my hands && many people tell me the J line is pretty spooky.. Maybe I can ride up to Jamaica during the weekend. Has anyone seen the R160A's on the J during the weekends? |

I just want to know if this is just a general stereotype? Ive never rode the J into Brooklyn or Queens. If I am traveling to Broadway Junction, I usually take the A. People picture East New York/Bway Junction as horrible but it really isnt THAT bad, however, I dont know about the J line in Brooklyn or Queens. Can you shed some light? |

I've also ridden it at night and I'm not much of a tough guy.The only line I've ever felt nervous on was the 3 between Crown Heights and New Lots at night. That's something I've since avoided. |

Nothing wrong with the J day or night..It not like the old days..where it was a crap hole..with dangwer lurking around almost every corner. It's pretty safe now..I ride it all the time even "late late" nights coming from work sometimes. If you want to know the truth about it..it's boring now..so I guess thats a GOOD THING. |

Well ok, like i said I only rode the J in the day. I am sure it is fine at night, but then again I probably would not have a need for the J at night anyway. |

Well those people are my two aunts & uncle who used to live over by Alabama Av. I guess the J line has changed over years, perhaps thats why they still believe that.. I will just ride the line myself.Also Ive never rode the Dyre line at night, but I heard its like a ghost town. |

As of yesterday (Tue, 25), two 160 trainsets run as "Z" trains during the AM and PM rush. That's it...no weekend running yet.I saw both PM sets headed to East New York Yard, and I saw one other set testing earlier in the day...before anyone posts (LOL), no I didn't jot down car numbers ("HEY!

But some folks like to stick to their preconceived notions to make themselves feel better..or create a problem where none exist.Never the less..don't worry about the J line too much. It pretty safe now concidering how bad it use to be. Just be watchful/mindful of your surroundings. Anywhere and EVERYWHERE you go. |

I finally have a picture of my own to share. Crescent St, car #8368: Coming home on it today, I noticed a very familiar face at Myrtle/Broadway. Don't have a name, but I've seen (and talked) to him on several MOD trips. White guy, 50's. If that was you at Myrtle around 5:30 PM this evening, let me know. I like to put names to faces. |
