Sometimes Dad would drop me off at City Hall so I could have a straight shot through on the 4 train. Other times I had to get the train from Parsons Boulevard or 74th Street/Roosevelt Avenue.

I'm a New Yorker, born and raised, a child of the early 70s who free ranged on the streets of Chinatown and the Lower East Side. In my high school years I commuted, first from Jamaica then from Jackson Heights, to the Bronx.

It's still wild to me how NYCTA does rail operations like this. #mta #nyc #nycta #railfan
