Engine, engine number nine
"...on the New York transit line
If my train goes off the track
Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!"
-Black Sheep, "Be Faithful"
The New York Subway's 9 train, which I took to school when I took the subway and a 1 train didn't come first, has gone the way of the K train. This also means the death of Bronx/Upper Manhattan rush hour skip-stop service, which shaved four or five minutes off a trip from City College and points south to Van Cortlandt Park, minutes that count if you're a sleepy student.

Did the K train ever actually exist? I remember seeing the signs at the 207th st. A train stop, but never saw an actual K train...
Yeah, there was an actual K train, but it got discontinued in the mid-80s. I think it ran where the C (is supposed to) run.
Actually, I am pretty sure the song is "The Choice is Yours"
FYI - the song is by Bloodhound Gand - The Choice Is Yours. My friend downloaded the wrong song artist for me so i just wanted to let you know which version it is.
come on, did you really think bloodhound gang came up with a good song by themselves? it's a cover, gaddammit. the choice is yours by black sheep is the original.
Yeah it is from Black Sheep by Trik Turner. Kids, they think all songs are new just because they hear it on the radio for the first time.
