Disclaimer: I did not take this photo at midnight as I would not take the train at such an hour (but that’s a discussion for a later post).
I watched the sky from twilight until dark while waiting on the platform for the Manhattan-bound F Train. I waited while the sun was up, I waited while the sun was going down, and I waited until the moon shone. While sunsets are beautiful and all, a freezing, windy train platform is not my preferred setting to watch them. The transit app claimed that the service was “good” and that the train should be arriving in 5 minutes. Perhaps there was a glitch in the system that caused the “4” before the five to disappear from my screen. My friend asked where I was, so with frozen fingers, I took a photo of the empty platform I was on. Fear not! The Coney-Island bound trains were running (although only to the next stop, where they were promptly stopped). As a New Yorker, I must say I love the train service, but the train’s service is, like the streets of the city, garbage.
