Did that get your attention???
This is a yearly event that has been getting more and more popular each year. But something happened that caused the police to shut it down early this year. I honestly had no idea that it got this ‘interesting’ until I saw these photos. Railfanning’s time has finally come – if mooning trains is what it takes to attract the women, then so be it.
Stripper arrested for subway pole dances
By Pav Jordan
SANTIAGO (Reuters) – A stripper who danced on the poles of Santiago subway trains to challenge the prudishness of Chilean society was arrested on Thursday during one of her lightning performances.
Monserrat Morilles, 26, surprised subway riders all week stripping to skimpy underwear, but she refused tips.
She said she was protesting a lack of tolerance in Chile, one of Latin America’s most conservative societies where the first generation since the Pinochet dictatorship is reaching adulthood.
“This is just a beginning. We are starting an idea here that will grow and be developed further,” she told Reuters as police and subway guards surrounded her.
The professional pole dancer worked quickly all week to avoid arrest, getting on at one station, finding a subway car with no children on it and stripping in time to exit at the next station.
Chilean media dubbed her “La Diosa del Metro” or Subway Goddess. She called her performances “happy minutes.”
“Chile is still a pretty timid country,” said her manager Gustavo Pradenas. “People aren’t very extroverted and we want to take aim at that and make Chile a happier country.”

This comes from Craigslist via Peter Rosa. Short version – some guy fingered some girl on the uptown (1) train but she didn’t get his full email address so now she wants to find him.
As expected, the bridge is up!
Sometime between 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM today the Broadway Bridge will be raised twice, mostly likely to allow the empty barge to return and then the tugs to head back to the Hudson.

A barge full of subway cars departed New York City today, likely destined for a spot about 10 miles off the coast of either Maryland or New Jersey. The barge is loaded on the Harlem River, adjacent to the 207 Street subway yard. It then travels up to the Harlem River Ship Canal, passing under a raised Broadway Bridge and a swung open Inwood Movable Bridge. After passing under the George Washington Bridge, the subway cars continue down the Hudson River and out into New York Bay.
