With a dramatic storm-suggesting summer afternoon sky looming in the distance over midtown Manhattan, a #7 Express bound for Flushing flashes past the canopied City View Racquet Club in Long Island City, Queens, approaching the 33rd St/Rawson St station.

It will not stop there, or at 40th St/Lowery, but will blast through both stations on the center express-only track.

My “7Scapes” series follows the long trains of the IRT No. 7 Flushing Line as they call at stations from Grand Central through destinations in Queens.
