Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sat Jun 25 18:58:29 2016 2016 Parade of Trains Once again the New York Transit Museum staged a “Parade of Trains” at Brighton Beach just as they had done last year. Four trains were operating . The BU Gate Cars 1404-1273-1407 ran as a shuttle on the northbound express track (A4) between Brighton Beach and Ocean Parkway. The other three train sets ran between Brighton Beach and Kings Highway using the express tracks in both directions. 1) “The Train of Many Metals” consisted of R-38 4028-9, R-42 4572-3 and R-40 4280-81. All six 2) “The Arnie Train” consisted of R-1 381, R-6 1300 & 1000 and R-9 1802. 3) “The AB-D Train was quite a surprise. The consist was B-Type 2390-1-2 and D-Type 6112. The MU connections have been modified so the two units can run together. The doors however must be operated separately . Several members of this board were there including our resident LIRR historian Bob Andersen, Bill Newkirk and myself. The trains are running on Sunday, June 26 so take a ride if you can. Bring a camera (if you have one). Bring a friend (if you have one). Larry, RedbirdR33 |
