That used to be a great stretch, especially in the days when the Standards and D units just had markers but not real headlights on the front, making the view out the railfan window really dark. The train flew under Flatbush Avenue, and only when it made a very slight left turn the dimly lit (incandescent bulbs) 7th Avenue station could be seen in the distance, barely a speck -- but it grew quickly. It was a great run -- I couldn't tell you what speeds those trains hit, probably not as fast as it felt, but with the windows open in the front it was REALLY cool. |
