For anyone who may consider joining before we start off tomorrow (I doubt anyone from RD will though) Trip Plans in Order The Astoria Line N/W The 1 in the Bronx 207th St. Yard Concourse Yard The 6 along the Pelham Line New MCI Hunting SMEE on the V Jamaica Busfanning Cost Fare – I know Stan and Dom have unlimited cards, and I have a pass so this shouldn’t be a problem. If you’re paying w/ a money card then we are using 4 rides so buy a fun pass which is $8.25 and will save you $.75 over buying a regular card. Food - $3-4 – We’re eating at a Subway restaurant near the Bedford Park Blvd. station right after we get off the Bx10 because by then it should be around 1:30. Total – Bring about $10-12 and you should be fine. I want this to be cheap. ($3-5 if Unlimited) 11:00 - Meet up at QBP. I will be there by 10:45 probably in case anyone is early. We will be meeting at the last car (west end) of the upper level (right by both the famous curves on the 7 and N). 11:05 – Ride 1 - (N)(W) to Ditmars, taking photo stops at 39th Ave., 30th Ave., Astoria + Ditmars 11:30 – Ditmars to Times Sq. 12:15 – 1 to 231st St. with photo stops at 96th, 125th, 215th, 225th and 231st 12:55– Bx10 to Bedford Park Blvd. and eat lunch at Subway Restaurant 1:30 – Ride 2 - After viewing Concourse YD, take the 4 down to Fordham Road to SBS over to Pelham Bay Park (busfan op there) 2:00 – Ride 3 - Take the (6) down to 51st St to go MCI hunting at 50th and 5th, w/ photo stops at PBP, Castle Hill, Westchester, Parkchester, Whitlock 3:00 – Ride 4 - Take the (V) from Rock to Forest Hills with photo stops at Rock, Bryant, and other stops depending on our mood 3:30 – Take the (E)(F) to Union TPK for busfan ops 4:15 – Q60 to Jamaica to end the trip with Jamaica busfanning This is the final plan. The schedule seems wrong to me but I guess we’ll just see how it goes tomorrow. We’re planning on ending between 4-5 PM.
