There’s track work going on at the Smith & 9th Street Station, so there are delays at the platform level. Getting there is a problem, too; at least one of the escalators is not running at any given time here at the highest station in the NYC subway system. The stairs are crowded.

Though inbound F Train riders have to go over a bridge and wait on a newly-built platform, they are lucky. There’s no interruption in service, unlike at Smith and Ninth, where trains won’t be stopping for about a year. Plus, riders have gained a new and slightly elevated view from the bridge.

Down by Third Avenue, they were getting ready to pour cement below ground level. Happily, trains are operating normally overhead all weekend.

That’s where they are doing track work, on the subway bridge that crosses the Gowanus Canal and extends from Smith & 9th to Fourth Avenue on the F Train. An overcast day is great for taking pictures – no shadows or squinting. The haze has a way of making things either sharp or fuzzy. That’s my scientific explanation.
