Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Tue Sep 8 10:55:28 2026 Tuscarora Almanac for September 8 1910 from The Book of First Runs The Long island Railroad begins electrified train service through the East River Tunnels. 1935 from The Book of Last Runs This is the last day of streetcar service in Lowell, Massaachusetts. 1958 from The Book of First Runs Night time Rockaway Shuttles begin Round-Robin operation. These trains will run from Euclid Avenue to Rockaway Park, change ends and run to Far Rockaway via Hammels Wye and then change ends again and run back to Euclid Avenue. 1989 from The Book of Last Runs The following entry was prepared and written by Mr.William A.Padron and is included here with his kind permission. This Date In NYC Transit History: Friday, September 8, 1989 [25 years ago]... As best it can be determined, the last known recorded run of R-10 cars in regular passenger service was on that date mentioned above. It was said that the final train was the 7:36am put-in from Rockaway Park Yard, and the consist of the cars were n/#3209-3157-2961-3159-3181-3169-3008-3168/s. At that time, and due to a Con Ed asbestos problem along the IND 8th Avenue line at 50th Street, "C" service only operated as far north as 34th Street-Penn Station. There was said be an observation of this same R-10 train on Friday, September 15, 1989, but there was no further detail or confirmation if it was in actual passenger service, or simply being transferred from yard to another for disposal as scrap. The "C" line assignment sheet during the full week of September 11-15, 1989 did not list any R-10's at all. (Source: The "Bulletin", New York Division, Electric Railroaders' Association, October 1989 issue.) 2001 from The Book of First Runs This is the first day of operation of the "V" Queens - 6th Avenue Local. Regular service on the "V" will not begin until December 17 however the new service plan was in operation for fifteen hours today as a test of the new schedules. Ed note: September 8 was a Saturday. I rode the V that day for the first time. I was enroute to the Hoboken Festival. Remember them? 2018 from The Book of First Runs The Cortlandt Street station on the IRT South Ferry line re-opens after having been closed since September 11, 2001. The station and about one thousand feet of tunnel were destroyed with the collapse of the Word Trade Center Towers. The line itself re-opened on August 31, 2002 restoring service between Chambers Street and South Ferry stations. Cortlandt Street remained closed due to ongoing construction at the WTC site.
