I finally got to ride a Triplex at the Parade of Trains today, along with a train of ABs and a very short SMEE consist (R10, R7A and R16). Love hearing those spur gears on the old BMT traction motors; sounds like a cow mooing. The T/O's on the D and the AB really were giving the air whistles a workout as we rolled past Sheepshead Bay, Neck Road and Ave. U. At one point, our ABs were marching up A4 track just south of Sheepshead Bay, running alongside a N/B Q on A2 with a set R46s, when a S/B Q with a set of R68s rolled by on A1 track. 3 generations of BMT south cars....Brighton Beach station was pretty crowded (I was there around noon) and those narrow platforms (jammed with a number of very inattentive subway fans)made me feel that a 12-9 could happen there any moment. Still, I loved it.... |
