R 38 in intro and funny opening segment. I guess Travolta flew himself to NYC. He usually flies his own plane to Islip. |

Check this video.At 0:29 you can clearly see that the entire sides are fluted, instead of just the bottom like the R-38s. Also, I took a screen cap, those are definitely R-32 numbers and number plates.  >I don't think the B used R-38s in 1975. The N had some in the fall of 1974. 3950-3999 (except for 3990/1, because by then this had happened). I think the B was using R-38s by 1977, mostly ones displaced from Jamaica Yard by the R-46. |

Thanks for pointing that out.I wonder where the R-38's were then? Did you like the opening segment when Kotter would tell a joke, usually about an uncle? |

Well, 4002-4149 were definitely at Jamaica, usually on the E or F (I think 4000/1 was also out of service by them, but I could not find photographic proff of same at nycsubway.org). I don't what happened to the 3950s after the fall of 74, maybe they were still on the N and I just missed them (I attended John Dewy HS for the 1974-75 school year, so I saw the B and the N also, as those lines ran on either side on the school (the N tracks were on the surface adjacent to the athletic field, so you could get a great view, especially of the southbounds. There may have been some timers, because when the 3s were there, you'd get to hear several applications of the great "Darth Vader" brakes (on the R-42s as well). A great school for a subway fan to attend. If you had a class in an odd-numbered room, which were on the outside of the building. On the south side, you could see the 8 layup tracks that came right up to the school grounds. They were assigned in the same order as the tracks as Stillwell (east to west, 2 tracks each for Sea Beach (N), Brighton (M and QB, I don't recall seeing any Ds laid up there, but they could have been), Culver (F) and West End (B). The trains would start rolling in around 9 for mid-day layups, by 10, all 8 tracks were full. By the time school was out (3:40), they were gone. I assume they came back at night, but I was never there then. The N usually had 32s (and 38s in the fall, an occasional R27/30 (ugh). Not sure if they ever laid up any 42s midday, I suspect they were out all day. Brighton tracks usually had the 27/30s, West End usually 32s and an occasional visiting R-10 from 207th which would do a trip on the B. The Culver tracks were interesting, as Jamaica had a wide variety of equipment at that time. You'd see anything from an Arnine to a R-44 and several classes in between (the 46s were just starting to come in, I never saw one at that time). R-38s, R-40 (Slant and Modified). Fun times.Yeah, the jokes were OK, kinda corny. Probably recycled from when Gabe Kaplan did standup. Again, I loved the show because it just screamed Brooklyn. Especially the first part of the opening with the "Welcome to Brooklyn" sign. I had discoverd that song that summer before the show came on, on the Belt Parkway southbound (eastbound) just after the Verrazano. I was on the walkway taking pics of the VNB. These two are further south from the sign:   I actually ended back by JDHS, where I boarded the B to get back home (B to Dekalb, D to Prospect Park). On that trip, I took my one and only RFW pic. Anyone know where this is, because I don't remember. I was on a northbound B  John Dewey was a very good school when I went there (only the one year, after 3 years in HS in Urbana, IL, when my mother was in graduate school at the University of Illinois). I was in the 4th ever graduating class (1975). Too bad that it has apparently gone to shit in recent years, :( |

That would work, as it would theoretically be possible to have a Pelham 456. Also, would be kinda a play on words, as the 4, 5 and 6 all run on Lexington Av. |
