After taking nearly a century to build, the Second Avenue subway extension
in Manhattan opened on Sunday with excitement and complaints.
.
Three new stations opened at 72nd, 86th and 96th Streets.
.
The route is an extension of the Q line, which now runs from the Upper
East Side in Manhattan to Coney Island in Brooklyn.
.
Im Not Driving the Train, Cuomo Says
.
Shortly before noon on Sunday, a flood of New Yorkers streamed into the
new 96th Street station, swiping their MetroCards and boarding the first
Second Avenue subway train leaving the station. As the train pulled out,
subway riders clapped and cheered.
.
Then Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos voice came over the loudspeaker, welcoming
passengers to the historic ride.
.
Rest assured, Im not driving the train, he joked before thanking
Metropolitan Transportation Authority workers for finishing the first
segment of the line.

Its Been a Long Time Coming
.
Joe Caronetti, 68, of the Norwood neighborhood in the Bronx, had been
waiting for the train since 10:15 a.m. on Sunday.
.
Not counting the 68 years prior, he added.
.
Mr. Caronetti, a retired banker, said it was the sixth time he had been on
hand for the opening of a new train, having also gone on inaugural rides
in Los Angeles and New Jersey.
.
Im just a train buff, he said, wearing an M.T.A. cap he had gotten on
Friday.
.
Another train enthusiast at the station, Marvin Loja Espinoza, 17, a
senior at Aviation High School, was waiting to get on the first train
leaving there.
.
Originally from Ecuador, he discovered his love for trains when he moved
to the United States in 2005. His hometown had no trains, he said.
.
Struggling to make friends in a new place, he spent his lunches in the
library studying train maps, he said. His knowledge of the subway lines is
so extensive that his friends call him M.T.A. Savage.
.
Ian Ma, 15, said that when he was a child, he would run his toy trains
back and forth across the floor of the familys home in Sheepshead Bay,
Brooklyn.
.
On Sunday, he couldnt stop grinning as he snapped photographs at the new
station at 72nd Street. Ive always been a big train guy, he said. And I
feel like Ive been waiting for this train my whole life.
.
Pete Cerwin, 51, has lived at 72nd Street and Second Avenue for 20 years.
For him, it has been two decades of false starts, letdowns and
construction.
