Just a contribution.....
During the past days, I was hoping to stay in a station for at least three hours to record the earliness and lateness of the trains' schedule in a Sunday. So today I've recorded it at 36th Street station in Brooklyn where the southbound 
, 
and 
train stops. This job was very tough because, there's a lot to write, no bathroom breaks, limit the amount of water or any drink you drink, no flat surface to write on (but the wall. I used my folder for a flat surface), and you're standing for a long period of time. Lets see what I've got.
I may have some errors on my math, but I hope I don't...
