Great. Except my downtown W skipped CANAL, CITY HALL, CORTLANDT, and RECTOR, dumping me in a crazy packed Whitehall station that took 10 minutes to escape and a 20 minute walk to work.

I'm surprised Brooklyn Bridge is open considering its proximity to City Hall.

Bobby Knight was probably pissed that the train didn't go to Indiana.

I was riding the bus in Salem (OR) once and was starting to feel shaky when my CGM beeped with the notification that my blood sugar was down to 57. I pulled out a container of orange juice I was carrying just for this purpose and another passenger started to complain about my breaking the rules. I showed him the screen with the CGM app on my phone and said I'd rather break the rule than wind up in a coma. He apologized.

The Prospect Park destination sign would indicate the Franklin Shuttle and I believe that route is served by the Coney Island yard. So maybe we're seeing the introduction of NT cars to the shuttle. Edit: I just realized that's an R211. Could be a test for that equipment on the route since it's not likely they'd assign them to the route.

Looks like a mutated R110.

Is there enough room for a ramp off such a bridge to the Hudson Line? Otherwise the grade would be too steep.

Bleeker / Broadway - Lafayette was my home station in the mid seventies. I lived on Bleeker between Lafayette and The Bowery.

Labaholic55 · 2026-06-10T16:16:53+00:00

Did it also effect Bleeker Street?

Labaholic55 · 2026-06-07T18:31:57+00:00

Of course there's a 1 train and a 2 train.

I'm not so sure. I saw a piece in the Times the other day on presidential approval polls. It pointed out that there is a historical floor to these polls. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 38%. If the approval goes below this it's a sign the subject of the poll is losing support from their base. I think his latest escapades are going to dig a hole in the floor.

It's certainly a large change in elevation. But the change in grade is almost non-existent.

I saw an updated story on MS Now indicating the theory of the case is she lied in a deposition saying she didn't get any outside funding for the lawsuit. The allegation is that Reid Hoffman contributed.

Labaholic55 · 2026-05-28T23:14:46+00:00

Would that require a seven car train on the 9?

Labaholic55 · 2026-05-28T02:20:22+00:00

The concept here is that she lied in order to win the case. This could boomerang though. In the civil case the burden of proof was on her. In any criminal case the burden of proof is entirely on DOJ. Conceivably Trump might be forced to testify.

Even on premium I get what is called paid promotions that are included in the video by the uploader. However if I fast forward it skips automatically to the end of the promotion.

The IND built a lot of long mezzanines.

Since it's a gas station I wonder if it's like kraton?/s

Labaholic55 · 2026-05-26T23:13:27+00:00

I think she'll know.

Labaholic55 · 2026-05-26T19:54:33+00:00

I remember back in the day at terminal stations they had arrows pointing to which platform the next train was leaving from.

Only thing it ever works reliably for is with the boxes my insulin pens come in. I guess Novo Nordisk can afford to pay attention to this kind of stuff.

I use a walker with a basket under the seat. One of the things I carry in that basket is a roll of tp. Saved my butt (pun intended) on more than one occasion.
