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."

by bombed i mean covered in graffiti. the open cut transit lines are always great canvases for graffiti.  the open cut subway lines in brooklyn are the best because the stations are so close together so they are easier to paint, but the open cut section of the port washington line through flushing is bombed pretty good

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.”

you read books?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

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.
