TAKE THE Q TRAIN

'I take this pic often as I approach the city.  It's like looking for the skyline when I come in from the airport or through the tunnel from NJ.  I like knowing that I am almost home. :-)'

The Q runs to and from 96th a ritzy looking new station on the Upper East Side of (Manhattan) and takes you all the way down to Coney Island and its entertainment and beaches.

The tracks cross the East River on the Manhattan Bridge. A service has been running since 1878, The Q service proper started in 1920.




 

There are plans to take it up to 125 St. in East Harlem giving people here a direct train to the beach within the next five years!


The great notion, reflecting on the Q train and its stops across the city,  is it like being back in New York.
