Funny how you should mention looking at the LL from the Jamaica El at Eastern Pkway and how it looked scary. I had the opposite feeling the first time I saw the LL at Eastern Pkway from the J in the late 60's. Up until then I thought the only Standards left was on the Culver Shuttle. The Franklin had the ugly R-11's and although now I know the "M" still had Standards then for some reason I never saw them and I railfanned the Myrtle a lot to ride the Q's. So I would ride the Culver to ride on a Standard. One day I got off the J at Eastern Pkway to get the "A" to my grandmother's in Far Rock and there I spotted it! A train of Standards upstairs on the Canarsie Line. And it wasn't a slow two car train going the four stops from ( Av to Ditmars!!! Well, I was very late to my grandmother's as I made the round trip to Eighth Avenue and back. And that was the start of numerous rides on the LL!!! |
