SallyCat Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 ive been studying the LIRR as ive only ridden it twice. i need to ride the port washington branch cause its open cut through flushing so its bombed pretty good. i miss commuting by train, the view is so much better than 202 and the 30 bypass Ohmygod, I grew up on the Port Washington line. What does it mean to say the route is "bombed"? I couldn't romanticize the LIRR; it lacks charm. But it was reliable and ran almost 'round the clock as I recall, and it was amazing to have such easy access to NYC. As for the lack of charm, here's F. Scott Fitzgerald on Flushing: "About half way between West Egg and New York the motor road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. This is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air."

SallyCat Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Is that from the Great Gatsby SallyCat Yes. It's not the best line, which is the last one. Or I just like it because I'm a historian: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 you read books? We had to in high school and college. I sometimes read a book when I'm on a plane but it's hard to when there's available internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
