Posted by RedbirdR33 on Mon Jun 30 18:50:09 2008, in response to Re: June 28, 1956, posted by Ed Alfonsin on Sun Jun 29 15:25:43 2008. The first passenger-carrying train was a train of R-16s (sorry--it never would have dawned on me to write down the car numbers at the time), witha canvas "Rockaway / Here We Come" sign as seen in those publicity pics. (I think it said "Rockaway," but it could have been "Wave Crest.") Ed: Nice to hear from you. Here's the numbers of the R-16 Special. 6311,6335,6337,6341,6368,6453,6467,6479,6484,6490. This was probably the first time that the R-16's ran as a ten car train. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
