|
Posted by Bill Newkirk on Sat Dec 4 14:06:00 2021 ![]() Assigned to the (N) in this undated photo, passing by "shoe fly" work on the Sea Beach line ![]() At the end of a mixed consist at the Brighton line's West 8th St station, things were getting backed up a bit. Does this still occur today ? (July 1969) ![]() Next three photos of some action at the West End line's 25th Ave station. It's the end of the PM rush hour and the R-42 (RR) is on the conga line for layup at Coney Island Yard. (July 1978) ![]() Up close and personal ! (July 1978) ![]() Time to slap on the zoom lens and catch an R-32 (QB) waiting it's turn to enter Coney Island yard. (July 1978) ![]() At the 20th Ave. station, I caught this consist leaving the 18th Ave. station. Take note of the movie marquee on the Loews Oriental theater. (Sept 1978) ![]() Wide angle street view at 86th St. and Bay 26th St, the 20th Ave. station is nearby. (Sept 1978) ![]() I heard of R-38's on the (RR) and made a photographic pilgrimage to Queensboro Plaza where I tolerated the sub freezing temps to get this photo. (January 1979) ![]() R-38's made it out east and plied the rails on the (M) line seen here on the Williamsburg bridge. (March 1979) ![]() Taking advantage of the curve at the Myrtle Ave. line's Seneca Ave. station. This station was always a favorite spot for rail fans.(August 1979) ![]() At the Sea Beach line's Ave U station I guess on line for layup after the AM rush hour. (October 1979) ![]() The 80's weren't kind to the R-38's being tagged with graffiti but at decades end it was time for a general overhaul that would rebuild them and add air conditioning. Seen here at the 2nd Ave yard, the rehabbed R-38's will be placed on their trucks and off to Coney Island yard before being sent to their final destination. (September 14, 1987) ![]() In the pre-Air Train days, approaching Howard Beach station. (April 12, 1990) ![]() At the signal tower at Liberty jct, this set is only a few stations away of their final destination of Lefferts Blvd. (September 1990) ![]() |
