Taken on: Monday, July 1, 2024
After a successful trip on the R68 (Q) train, I take a smooth ride up to Norwood-205 St, running via Express in The Bronx. It’s been a long time since I did this, but Concourse Express is fun. I took this out because I prepared for the major Brighton Line 🟠🟡 service change, and I’ll be able to make a return to this in the future after the Brighton Line 🟠🟡 construction is over. From July 2024 to early 2025, Church Av would be closed in two segments and it would require the suspension of Brighton Express (B) Train service for several months. This was a fun ride up to The Bronx. Given how they might work on CBTC soon, it makes me think that we could see R211s on the (B) and (D) Lines soon perhaps. From the Manhattan Bridge to W 4 St, I met a nice samaritan and we had a nice discussion on hidden stations in the system. It gets me to ask you, what is the hidden station that you guys miss the most? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments. I hope you guys enjoy this one.
