I also remember when the R-32s were brand spanking new. In fact, my very first subway ride was on a shiny new R-32 N train on July 21, 1965. It's a shame my father didn't photograph me sitting next to one of their signboxes with "57th St." or "Coney Island" backlit in green. Yes, they did replace the venerable Triplexes, which IMHO were sent to slaughter much too soon. They were still in tip-top shape and running beautifully. Supposedly, Budd was cranking out the R-32s so fast that they would have run out of storage space at CIY had the Triplexes been kept. |
