Re: Tuscarora Almanac for October 3

I missed out riding the Qs on that last day because the announcement said the service would end at midnight on Saturday, which I mistakenly thought meant midnight at the end of Saturday, not at the beginning.

When I got to Metropolitan Av Saturday afternoon, I found two arnine M trains waiting at the platform. Eventually I figured out what had happened. While waiting on the platform, one of the M trains left, and the Q fan train pulled in, loaded with people with cameras. The doors didn't open and the train left again, still loaded.

When I later took an M train past the yard, I got lots of photos of the Q trains all lined up, in addition to the photos I got of the fan train in the station.

In the late '60s I had ridden the Qs several times, mostly for fun. They had actual canvas straps.

This was the Sunday fan trip:
