Parade of trains on brighton and the Bu on the astoria express tracks were a treat! I was pissed the City hall loop was only opened for one day. |

At least I was able to set foot on that platform. Can't complain about that. Then when we were on our way to Times Square, what should show up on the s/b express track but the museum R-1/9s. We made a beeline for the other side and made it on board. |
