“Into the A Train” is a publication that while conforms to the traditional aesthetic of a zine, takes on an experimental approach.
MAKE A ZINE IN ONE SUBWAY TRIP
We had set up some boundaries for ourselves – which subway would we get? How many pages would we make? Surely the longest one; and that is the A train going from Inwood 207 to Rockaway Beach. So that’s what we did. On a Sunday afternoon we meet up at Inwood Station, a place far from our usual routes. Level of safety? 6. Level of adventure? 10. See the rest of the rules we came up with below on page 1:
THE TRIP
From being serenaded by violinists, interesting conversations and the usual NYC passive-aggressive subway goers – we definitely had enough content for our publication. The trip itself clocked in at 1 hour and 24 minutes.
