59th Street-Columbus Circle to 125th Street via Central Park West Express part 1!

Inwood-207th Street bound A train switches from the local track to the express track making express stops to 125th due to construction bypassing 72nd Street, 81st Street-Museum of Natural History, 86th Street, 96th Street, 103rd Street, 110th Street-Catherdal Parkway. The train starts to slow due to a slow ass D train that was ahead of us!

It's maddening the way they keep the trains from going fast. You know there's no traffic up ahead and yet the dispatchers keep the signals yellow and red. When I was a kid I can remember flying by the stations so fast that you couldn't read the station signs.

@Billyb0y2001 Blame MTA for trying to everything safety!

when the R40 slants used to run on the a i used to take them to columbus circle and stand in between the cars all the way to 125th, it was FASTTTT lol

@Spitfire995 Okay!

I rode on many A trains of R-10s along that stretch in the olden days; they could make the run in five minutes. By the time you reached 81st St., you were flying.

The R-10's are better than those boring 75fters they got on the A now. I'm glad I got a chance to ride the Arnines (R-1/R-9)!

The only thing they saying this from the Train Dispacthers they look at the trains to see where they are i know how it is

[JamaicaQnzFreak]

Its the only train that share the same track other than the A and plus I can also tell by the timers being all red!

[kbusses]

[JamaicaQnzFreak]
