1. Crawled while approaching E. 180th St.

I decided to get an early start to the day. I started my journey from my grandfather's apartment which consisted of the BX5 to West Farms Sq & then a 5 (6301) to Eastchester/Dyre Ave.

So I get to Eastchester-Dyre Ave around 8:50 AM. I see a 5 across the platform waiting to leave. I decide I'll jump on this train instead of waiting. I sit down & start to pull out my trusty mini notebook I use for my transit related notes. I'm about to start writing down the destination for this "cot" when I hear an announcement.

The announcement was that this train was going to Utica Ave. I figured this would be a "cot" to Flatbush Ave. I for some reason was happy it was going to Utica instead. I really don't know why, I assume maybe because it was a change of pace from what I expected.

As far as the ride goes, it seemed to be a smooth one from start to finish. The only minor delay was when we crawled between Morris Park & E. 180th St. I misjudged the amount of time this ride would take. I thought it would be about 65 minutes at the most. I was off by 11 minutes. In the end though, I enjoyed it.
