User:R162A 1 Train

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi. I'm a railfan from the state of NY who loves to upload photos to Wikipedia every now and then. Simple enough, right? Yes.

History

I have a bit of history on Wikipedia. So far, I created 2 articles (the DEC700 in 2024, and the NS Plan U in 2025) and am on the way to making a third article to hopefully be posted this year.

Photos

Most photos I take are of MNRR (East-of-Hudson and Port Jervis Line), LIRR (west of Mineola), NJT (Northeast Corridor Line, Morris & Essex Lines, Main Line) and Amtrak (mostly the Northeast Corridor and Empire Corridor).

R160 G (NYC service) at Bay Pkwy. At the time, F trains were rerouted to Euclid Av due to the C being suspended, so G service took over the Culver route.

So, who am I?

I'm a railfanner, not a foamer. Those're two different things. As a child, I always had an obsession with trains--shock shock, surprise surprise[1]. I do have dreams to make my own railroad at one point in time, which is gonna be REALLY hard to do. Other than that, I don't have anything else to say about myself for now.
