Today, the B express train resumes service. I can't tell you how exciting this is for me. I remember reading the 2012 completion date listed on the MTA fliers in agony. (Work isn't complete entirely, but I think it's far enough along that the public can use the stations.)
Friday night, the B and Q were running express from Kings Highway to Prospect Park probably to finish last minute touches so that the MTA could keep to its goal. I was so proud, watching the contractors with flashlights walking the express tracks in the dark as I commuted home to Brighton. Our subway system is its own living organism-- living, and breathing us into and out of Manhattan each day, and requiring regeneration.
