Re: VIDEO: New R11's in service on Canarsie line

The R16s had the fate of being used on mostly outdoor lines, unlike the R17/21/22/26/28. Maybe if they'd been used on the 14th/Canarsie they'd have worked out better. But we only think about the first 12 or so years of use. After Chrystie they went all over and still were pretty poor.

I remember when they showed up on the QJ and I couldn't believe that these cars were so bad compared to the R27/30s that mostly ran there. It also seemed like getting the R1s on the D was pretty bad too. The Brighton line was all R27/30/32 before Chrystie.
