Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Wed Apr 30 19:31:28 2025, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for April 30, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Wed Apr 30 15:44:48 2025. And on this date in 1967, I became a subway buff in earnest after a round trip subway ride to Coney Island from midtown Manhattan. We took a D train via the Culver line on the way there, then it was the BMT back to Manhattan. While I don't remember the first train we took out of Stillwell Ave, I do remember it being an R-32 consist. IIRC only the N and TT used R-32s on weekends in those days. We changed trains at 36th St. to an R-27/30 RR and our train pulled in on the express track. Since TT trains used the express tracks at 36th when they terminated there as West End shuttles, I'm pretty sure we took a TT (it was a Sunday). My father was familiar with the West End because his elderly cousin lived just off the 71st St. station.My kother liked to joke that I forgot all about South Bend that day and that I forgave my parents for moving. Neither point is accurate (I never bore any resentment for moving, even though I took the news pretty hard), but it makes good copy. |
