Sea plane crash delays train

Northeast Regional 166, scheduled departure 9:05 It’s now 10:47 pm and we’re sitting at Penn Station because of a “sea plane crash” after waiting an hour for a new engineer to board train. A wee bit confused as the crash happened several hours ago. At least we have a lamp.

Best way to see Statue of Liberty and Times Square

We are staying at the Hilton Newark pen station in NJ because my idea was to hop on the path and take it into the city to get to Times Square. We only have about 10 hrs at best and I was wondering if I’m crazy for thinking we may be able to squeeze a trip to the Statue of Liberty (via the Staten Island ferry).

What would be our best option to do this correctly to save time and money (I know silly question)? We are open to driving (parking estimates?), taking public transport etc. I just want to maximize our time as much as possible as most of it will be spent in Times Square. I was just hoping to possibly get us on the ferry to see it from afar if possible.

And away she goes!!!!

LIRR's Kawasaki M9 departs Flushing-Main Street station, heading towards Port Washington. Throughout the video, another passenger has decided to take out his phone and capture the moment.

Just two rail enthusiasts enjoying what they do :)

Talkative conductor on the 4 train

I recorded this video about a year ago. To those of you that take the 4 train, I’m sure you’ve had him before.

Next Stop Is BROADWAYYY

Whoever this conductor was on the N train, I appreciated that every station announcement was sang instead of just monotonously mumbled.

An incredibly unserious thought experiment on making the G into a better crosstown edited onto vanshnookenraggen's track map

Some considerations:

The third track on the BMT Jamaica line is reactivated and DeKalb is deinterlined.
I wasn't sure whether it's possible to add a fourth track to Bedford-Nostrand Avs, so I made a new tunnel under Lexington Ave.
The V has taken over the J south of Chambers St a la JTA's alphabet city branch proposal.
I'm not sure on the alignment to connect the IND Crosstown line to the Myrtle Ave El (or what remains of it). I just followed the streets and assumed a portal is possible.
Census data for one-seat rides was completely ignored. This entire map is a thought experiment on how, not why.
I did not add SAS phase 4 to Hanover sq because I am tired. Pretend it is there.
I also didn't add stations on Lafayette Ave and Lexington Ave connecting the C and G. This, too, is because I am tired.
This was done on photoshop because I hate myself. The colors may not match and the edit is not very good. Please ignore this.
