Not being one to pass up a good emergency, I loaded my son into the turbo wagon and picked up a friend along the way and drove down to the Euclid Av subway station. I found a parking spot less than a half-block from the shuttle bus loading area. We took the shuttle bus to Howard Beach &#8211; it was a pleasantly nice and quick ride. Once at Howard beach, we partook in a jaunt on AirTrain over to Federal Circle and Jamaica and back. My son loved AirTrain &#8211; it was his first ride ever on it. The shuttle bus ride back to Euclid was not so great &#8211; the bus was very full and the people boarding at the Casino could barely fit. Seems like the dispatching could have been better.\u00a0 Overall it was a nice ground level tour of parts of Brooklyn and Queens that I don&#8217;t often see.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some photos of the shuttle bus loading area taken after we got back to Euclid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0079.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1374\" title=\"IMG_0079\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0079-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0079-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0079.jpg 653w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0080.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1376\" title=\"IMG_0080\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0080-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0080-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0080.jpg 653w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0081.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1377\" title=\"IMG_0081\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0081-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0081-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0081.jpg 653w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0082.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1378\" title=\"IMG_0082\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0082-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0082-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_0082.jpg 653w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday (Sunday), there was an emergency General Order (G.O.) on the (A) subway line that shut down service between Euclid Avenue and Howard Beach-JFK Airport.
