Posted by Eric B on Thu Oct 26 08:38:48 2006, in response to Re: R-142A on the 2 today, posted by 5301 Fishbowl on Thu Oct 26 03:28:33 2006. The 38's began appearing on the M in 1981, then spread to the QB, D and even R. I was riding to school everyday, and just beginning to get familar with all the different types of equipment, and noticed these cars that loked like a cross between the 32's and 42's. A year later, they all suddenly disappeared, and turned up on the A where they remained to the present.Many don't believe that 38's and even 32's ran on the M, but it seems the assignments were done a bit different than the way they are done today, where the D is strictly out of Concourse. The M/QB/RR and to a large extent, the B all seemed to share the same equipment, based out of CI. (The B was kind of different whn it began to get the slants the same year, but even those eventually spread to the other lines). I am not familar with many of the other lines outside the Brighton before that time, but if it's true that the 38's had already been on the B, it was probably the slants spreading over from the A/AA that pushed the 38's to the other lines. Then the slants followed, and the 38's went to the A, so it was a swap. |
