RokuSix RokuSix Subway Engineer Registered: 07/28/07 Posts: 2715 Loc: The Bronx!	Here's a trivia question. The 6's last stop, as we all know, is Pelham Bay Park. But common sense dictates, she doesn't quite stop in the park. In fact, she stops at the intersection of Bruckner Boulevard and Westchester Avenue. What's the name of the plaza at the intersection? _________________________ East Side IRT Fangirl. Yes, I'm a female railfan. The Bronx is up.

RokuSix RokuSix Subway Engineer Registered: 07/28/07 Posts: 2715 Loc: The Bronx!	A new question, though the answer may not be the same anymore. It was as of about three weeks ago. R142-A Car #7667 on the 6 train has a slight problem. It works fine, but it seems to have missed something on the stop display line. Which of the following is the problem? a) It shows the Grand Street Shuttle. b) It shows two Q's, an orange one and a yellow one. Also, it shows the E and F at 51st Street. c) It provides a transfer to the A and F trains at 51st street. d) It shows a transfer to the E at 59th Street. _________________________ East Side IRT Fangirl.

At 103d and at 110th Street, the (6) and <6> are on a traditional four track subway - the only place on Lexington Avenue this occurs. _________________________ E.......is for Elizabeth!

RokuSix RokuSix Subway Engineer Registered: 07/28/07 Posts: 2715 Loc: The Bronx!	I have an anecdote about the 6! [merely stating the obvious] I was on the train today, going home, when this kid got on at 125th. He started talking to a friend of his, and I happened to notice from the other side of the car. I ended up going to that side of the car by the time the train reached Parkchester, and they were having a really funny conversation. I couldn't help laughing, so they let me join in. The kid in question was so cool! Though he's younger than me, he seems like he'd be a good friend. Problem is, I didn't give him my name, nor any contact information. I just got home and it's been driving me nutty. I can't get on the same train tomorrow because I have bloody National Honor Society, so I'll be getting home late... _________________________ East Side IRT Fangirl. Yes, I'm a female railfan.
