The R32s at one time were quite reliable. On my last visit to New York in April, I took two rides on R32s and I could sense the deterioration of the propulsion and braking systems. Although the Budd carbodies could last another 40 years, the same can't be said for what makes 'em go and stop.I have another gripe about the R32s, dating to the days when they were brand-new. And that's for sentimental reasons. They replaced the Triplexes, a favorite of mine. As a teenager then, I took many trips out to Coney Island to witness the Ds stacked on top of each other like cordwood. Milantram San Francisco |
