FINALLY a shot from my favorite station Smith-9th Street with the great view of lower Manhattan. Among other things, this station for me seemed to be the dividing point between my early life in Red Hook and the start of my better life in Carroll Gardens.
 for the memories...Steve VP |

Resistance is futile. Just a warning - they are very addicting. Kind of like potato chips - "You can't have just one"  Check out the Subway Section here at OGR! Chris C. Shaffer TCA 08-62434 http://www.trainweb.org/subway/index.htm |

Excellent shots guys. Hey Ben - Is that the gold R16? I can't remember but for some reason I remember it having something to do with Saks 5th Ave - but I can't find any connection to that now. I think there was something in Greller's New York City Subway Cars book, but of course mine is packed in preparation for a hopeful move in the near future. Anyone have access to theirs?

Good shots, guys!
Zach, I especially like the shot at the junction, where the middle track appears to begin. Where is that? Lee |

Hey Lee. That is Avenue X on the BMT Culver Line, aka the F Train. Zach |

1. Seattle light rail is technically known as "Link". "Sounder" is the local name for commuter rail.
2. I believe the gold R16 was part of a 50th anniversary commemoration of subway service in New York. |

When did the MTA start using the "Norwood" header on the D-train? I grew up not far from there (and my grandparents lived a few blocks from the station on Hull Ave) and we never heard or used the "Norwood" identification. That neighborhood was simply known as "The Oval" for the park that was near the subway station. Chuck TCA 04-57633 |

Norwood Shmorwood! It will always be CONCOURSE 205th STREET to me!  Elliot |

"Norwood-205 St" began in April of 2001, when all the R68/R68A rollsigns were updated prior to the Manhattan Bridge reconstruction project. Then all the signage changed in the system as well. Transit decided to put the "area" of the station first, then Street name. ie: Norwood-205 St Coney Island-Stillwell Av Bensonhurst-Bay Parkway Lower Manhattan-Whitehall St Midtown-57 St/7 Av Zach |

Its called gentrification, and yeah, it sucks!! How do you think I felt after growing up in the south bronx, when they "renamed" it, SOBRO. Right after that, comes the harbinger of doom for the old nabe, a Starbucks....
