Id get on a GG at 65th st. & take it to Metropolitan/Lorimer change for an 8th Ave bound Canarsie line train, wait for a set of Standards, hop on to Union Sq, change for an Uptown Lex. Ave express train to Grand Central then to a 7 express back to Woodside. Four sets of equiptment, R-1/9..Standards..R-22 then R-36.What impressed me was the speed of the standards under the river to first ave. My train flew. Motors whining with a high C note so loud that conversation was next to impossible. For a supposedly "underpowered "car, my set had plenty of giddyup that day. East side IRT express uptown run wasn't too shabby either. |
