Now tell the truth, were you one of those kids that rode the entire system in 24 - 25 hours. I can remember when the papers ran stories of people riding on every line and every stop in the entire system.
... like the foundation for mileagerunners.

No, never did anything like that, but I just recently stayed onboard a downtown #6 as it left Brooklyn Bridge station to get a look at the abandoned City Hall station as the #6 used the loop track to get to the uptown platform at Brooklyn Bridge. I recommend this to tourists and locals alike. (Just make sure you do it on a train that's remaining in passenger service! The automated announcement on the train will say something like, "The next stop will be Brooklyn Bridge, on the uptown platform.")
