Re: Why would an R-16 LL be in Fresh Pond Yard?

I’ve unfortunately missed out on riding the R16s as they weren’t a common sight on the Brighton line when I was a kid. M train was usually R27/30, R40m/42 and the occasional R32. Even when we traveled from Fulton-Nassau, anytime I saw a J train, was always an R27/30. Wasn’t until maybe 86 when the R40m and 42s were a common sight on the J and M but never saw an R16. Oldest car class I ever rode in service was the R10, that alone was a treat. The only way I knew the R16 existed was the 1977 King Kong movie, then seeing the actual car in the Transit Museum as well as CIY.
