LIRR lesson

[spiderjohn]

Always round trip from Penn Station--since after-race concerts came in to play, returning Friday can be problematic if you stay for the feature. Heard a bit of Southside Johnny earlier--sounded like crap when also miked through the PA, creating a very late echo, so I wa\lked out. Thought I had a problem when no one was on the platform and the 2 remaining trains were locked. No f'n way I stay through the concert. Ran in to track workers leaving on the bus--they told me that Icould take the city bus through queens(very interesting ride) to Jamaica Station where I planned on catching a train to Penn. Got off at the spot, and instead of the train, there was an MTA subway station with an E train connection. I had a $33 week-long subway pass, so I hopped on for free, with a stop directly adjacent to our hotel. Very lucky lesson filed mentally in case I need it again as backup.
