LIONS with CAMERAS

207th Street, Manhattan

Canarsie Line, East New York, Brooklyn

Harlem, Manhattan

Hey, Lion- What train did I take to get to Ebbets Field to see the Dodgers coming from Jamaica,L.I. ?? I don’t remember as that was back about 1950/51.

HMMM!-Harlem. TAKE THE “A” TRAIN.

As a guess you would have taken what is now the (J) train from Jamaica Avenue, change to the now long-gone Myrtle Elevated and would have ended up somewhere near by (I think–not knowing exactly where Ebbets Field was exactly)

An HO Scale LION with an HO scale Camera:

Smith-9th Street, Brooklyn

I looked a your cat photo page and I saw some cougars, but no lions.

So far I enjoy these two the most; something about looking deeper into the underground system and what the alteration of the colors did makes them very striking…

I love that Harlem shot! It would actually make a nice wall print for anyone into city architecture. The repetitive yet different older buildings near trackside with the wall of later larger buildings behind gives a unique perspective.

Thanks, I like that one too.

We have a Xerox color laser printer that can do 11x17s. I tried one last night, and it looked real good.

I could probably take the file to Walmart and get an even larger photo.

no rats…I am shocked. I would think for sure, with all of the photos posted we would have caught a glimpse of a rat or two…their little red eys glimmering…rats, the system is full of them. You got Day-Walking coons in Queens, and rats underground in Manhattan…I can almost smell the urine in some of those shots…ahh summer in the city…I miss those days.

A photographic opportunity that only comes along once in a 'coons-age!

[;)] So, just what exactly is the 'coon’s age?

I like this one too!!! [bow]

Oh how I miss the days of the R1-9’s, R-10’s, and R-38’s.

Also the EE, GG, KK, RR, QJ!

yup.

I got to run one at the BERA trolley museum.

Boy, I looked younger back then!
