That must be why they put those knee walls in at 81st St. Going n/b, expresses were going full tilt at that point and when the R-10s thundered by, you got an earful if you were standing on the platform.I am reminded of an incidelt last July on the museum old timers. We rode on the Fulton St. express tracks out to 80th, then turned back. There were several kids at the railfan window, and as we went by one of the local stops, one of them said, "Full speed ahead!". That was nothing compared when we went up CPW at the of the day. When we hit 81st St., we were flying, the bull and pinion gears wailing away at A-440. That was when we were truly moving full speed ahead. |
