The First Sightseeing Day in Vancouver

Greetings from Vancouver, BC. We arrived yesterday on an Air Canada non-stop from Newark, a trip that I sort of wish I could title from AirTrain to SkyTrain. The early 7:00am departure though meant that my mother drove us to the airport. The flight was uneventful and fun, cloudy most of the way except over […]

Upload: 14 Street and 6-7 Avenues-A complex of long passageways

This is station equals 42 St-Times Square for the longest you can walk underground and still remain within fare control at least at this stop walking within the station isn’t roundabout at Times Square, where transfering from the Shuttle to the 8 Avenue Subway uptown especially is a lot closer if you leave fare control […]

In this update I’m proud to conclude with everything missing from the IND 8 Avenue Line except for 3 big transfer stations I’m still working on. It includes probably the transfer stop that is best set up since it was designed to be one at West 4 Street with the long middle mezzanine, although I […]

Upload: Brooklyn Bridge-Chambers Street

In quest of adding more and more stations albeit a bit randomly today I completed this unique complex between one stop that’s probably the most creepiest in the system with 3 out of 5 station platforms abandoned but still visible, the other also has two abandoned platforms but there is no way to know that […]

Upload: Canal Street and 3 different major subway disruptions throughout today
