Suppose to leave Hunters Point sometime before the PM rush hour. I don't think it has left yet though.

Hi Guys,
Each year the circus train moves have a thread and yet few photos. Never having seen it, I sure would like to.

I'd like to start a webpage with the history of the train on Long Island, the map route taken, usual dates, consists, etc.

Chime in: What do you think?
