Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Sat Feb 20 23:20:54 2021, in response to Re: White Castle $15/Hr., posted by b1bus on Sat Feb 20 22:56:50 2021. I was in the class of 1975 (4th ever graduating class for JDHS, IIRC). Was only there the one school year 74-75. Previous 3 years I went to HS in Urbana, IL, while my mother was in graduate school at thre University of Illinois. Great school for a subway buff. The West End on one side, the Sea Beach on the other side, yard leads from the West End on the north side, and the south side, the West End rising up from surface to the elevated, plus a 8-track layup yard that came right up to the gate. 2 tracks for each of the four lines (Sea Beach, Brighton, Culver and West End) in the same order east to west as Stillwell Terminal. Seeing them there while standing on the ground made you realize how tall subway cars are. When you are riding, the platform is a few feet off the ground, to the top of the car isn't terribly taller than you are. And an elevated, you are too far away to get the perspective. The fun part was seeing the layups after the morning rush. The Sea Beach, Brighton and West End tracks were somewhat predictable (Sea Beach R-32, maybe an occasional R-42 or R-27/30; Brighton was mostly R-27/R-30 as I rarely saw a D there, just Ms and QBs; West End almost always R-32s, maybe an occasional R-42 or a R-10 from north spending the midday there. But Culver--you could see an Arnine, R-38, R-40 (Slant, never saw a Modified, but it was possible) and R-44 (I think the R-46 were just starting to go in service when I graduated). |
