Posted by William A. Padron on Mon Aug 14 13:29:03 2017, in response to Re: R-10 #3184 Makes Its Grand Return, 7/30/2017., posted by South Brooklyn Railway on Mon Aug 14 11:35:47 2017. After its repainting back to its original scheme in 1994, it was hoped that R-10 #3184 would be used to go on fantrips, being coupled to the other available "SMEE" museum cars on MTA NYCT property.With the exception of being displayed at the TM in 2004 and 2007, I am sure not what were the reasons (or excuses) as to what it was not functional operational for all that very long time. That probably changed when until this year in 2017, #3184 and the other stored cars outside the Museum (and for awhile in storage at Pitkin Yard) were all sent up to the 207th Street Yard and Shops to be evaluated for possible operation. You have give credit to the technicians and mechanics at 207th Street Shop for getting #3184 up and ready at last, and it was done so within two weeks. The BMT AB's and D's were serviced at 207th Shop also as well. Kudos and equal credit goes out to Bill Wall and his operating crew for making the TM "Nostalgia Special" ride a totally great memorable one at that too. -William A. Padron ["a.c.f."] |
