Posted by Neil Feldman on Mon Aug 20 22:08:37 2012, in response to 1987 Train Ride To Coney Island, posted by CJ on Sun Aug 19 20:07:10 2012. I remember the layups done on both West End Center, and Brighton Express Tracks where slants were, and my they were down right horrible. That time, Manny B was closed to 6th Ave. Service causing the split B/D service between Broadway, and 6th Avenue which was similar to B/D/Q/W Service from 2001-2004 with different letters. B used exclusive R40's with the occasional pitch hitter on the Q when shorthanded an R32, or R40M/42. Of coarse the R68 was just being phased in mostly on the D with an occasional run on the B, and Q. The N was the second line to get them, but as the R42's were being phased out for rebuild/return for ENY, the N has the mixture of equipment giving the occasional R40 to it. Don't forget also the majority of the R40 fleet was non-a/c before rebuild, and once that, a/c was in every car as well as new end and side rollsigns, and the removal of the express/local lumination above the storm door. Filth was everywhere on the subway then as seen on the video. Now things have come a long way since then. |
