Favoriting May 1, 2019: DJ Rahim's Magic PATH Ride

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

When DJ Rahim is not busy playing sweet jams on his show Travel Zone (3-6am Tuesdays) you can probably find him on the PATH train, traveling from Journal Square to 33rd Street as a train conductor. Kimzilla shadowed Rahim and came back with some great stories, sporadic singing, and more positive energy than you can shake a PATH card at! Join us at 7pm EST on wfmu.org 91.1 to smile along with us.

33rd St. to Journal Square is the last leg of my train ride from Maine to JC for marathon. And I stayed at the Iris Records Airbnb loft when I visited the first time last year! Sad that they closed.

I sometimes catch part of the Travel Zone. The sounds really fill the ears. He conducts the train on first shift hours? When would we find him on the job and say "Hi"?

Hi all! Thanks Cosmic Matrix, I was surprised how well it turned out as well, especially with the background sounds.

so the conductors operate doors, and the engineer/motormen drive? am i correct?
  7:23pm

@Ken from HP he conducts the Journal SQ to 33rd st line sometime around the 5:00/6:00 hours, I believe!

Oh shoot. Does this train have a bathroom. I've been binging cheap beer

@Kelly I know! It was so weird editing this.

@queems, that's right. It's way more complex than that though, with the change in directions and the platform locations, and weirdos.

Traveling thru Portugal and Spain, I visited (and rode) trains whenever possible. Wonderful Travel Vectors those train stations. The stations in small towns in Portugal have azulejos (tiles) that depict everyday life. Sao Bento in Porto has incredible azulejos.
