Re: Tuscarora Almanac for January 16

I began riding the Standards, 1966-67 in their later years also. Raifanned with a friend on the Canarsie line, and in 1968, the Myrtle-Chambers Exp. - a great ride: over the bridge and then express to Myrtle- Broadway.

Perhaps you were riding them a few years earlier than me if you lived in the city? I remember seeing most of the same numbered series of cars as you mentioned: the 2400-2600 units; 2500's numbered in 3 units. And also the 2700s, though I just remember seeing these in trains, don't remember them as single units (though maybe I noticed that at the time - that was 50-52 years ago!!??) - same with single 2600s I might have seen.

I wish I could have ridden the B-types in service on the Southern Division, but that was just before I became seriously interested in NY transit. The D-Types I remember riding in Manhattan with my family on various city trips.
Thanks for sharing your memories.
