My 6-year-old son wants to know why "the Slant is signed up as an A"...I was going to say this was a conference committee decision, but it really wasn't. It was very late in the day (like 9:30PM) when I was making the bullets. I toyed with the idea of putting W or B on it, but these really weren't appropriate bullets. W didn't exist back in the pre-GOH days. B ran up the Washington Heights IND and woulda had a blue bullet (had circular bullets been in use back then). So neither of them woulda been appropriate choices (besides the fact that personally I am really not a fan of the B train). The A-Train, on the other hand, is world famous. You wouldn't have guessed how many people yelled "Take the A Train", "Rockaways 4eva!", and other such things as we walked down the boardwalk. Besides, R-40's were first deployed on... you guessed it, A and F trains on Fulton/Washington Heights and Queens/Culver IND. |
