Re: Tuscarora Almanac for June 25

Imagine it is 1967. The BMT southern division trains are all R27/R30 and R32. All cars less than 10 years old on every line. Then the promised improvements from Chrystie St happens, and suddenly there are R1s/R4s/R6s running on your line. Old trains from another era. Dim lights, paddle fans, smelly, outside conductors, etc... Nobody thought this was an improvement. I know in the morning rush the trains going towards the Bronx on the D were mostly R32, while the trains going the other way were arnines. But by midday it was a mix and the evening rush was also a mix until they resorted out in the evening.
