Posted by Mitch45 on Sat Mar 31 21:21:21 2012, in response to March 31, 1977 - The Last R-1/9 Run In Service, posted by William A. Padron on Sat Mar 31 12:22:11 2012. RIP. Those cars had character. Will never forget them on the QB lines in the early '70s - the "straw" seats, the yellow bulbs, the porcelain-covered grab poles and handles, the "whusk-whusk-whusk" of the large exposed fans, the "FSHHH" of the pneumatically-powered doors opening at each station, the classic mooing of the motors as the consist picked up speed. We'll never see the likes of them again. |
