Re: [PHOTOS] R-40M - The Post Slants

It probably enhanced it, but I mentioned elsewhere in this thread that it was a ride on my grandfather's 15 Jamaica Local train when I was 4 that set the spark (and we were living on Jerome St (me, my parents and grandparents) at that time.

He always took transit to work, even when he owned a car. When I was first born, we lived on St. Marks Av, just past the 3-way intersection with Rockaway Av and Eastern Parkway. So he had a one-seat ride on the B12. Once we moved to East New York, I assume he took the B10 to Newlots/Pennsylvania, then the B20 to ENY. He reported early, like 5 AM, maybe a little earlier, so he probably rode "hawk" (I think that's the term) runs. He had a great mind, so he probably memorized the schedule.
