I was wondering when somebody was gonna point out that the end doors on all NTTs are ADA compliant!As for crazy car assignments, when the R-46s developed serious problems around 1979-80, they exchanged assignments with the R-10s, with the "thundering Tens" going out to Jamaica, where their usual assignment was the E train, and the 46s going to Rock Park as the CC train...with green-diamond end signs, IIRC. I was born and grew up in Far Rockaway just two blocks from the Mott Avenue term, and I can tell you definitively, EVERY R-type (except the R-11/34s) in the inventory has visited Far Rock at one time or another...my earliest memories are of Arnines and VERY shiny, new Slants...I know I'm getting old when the Slants are being given to King Neptune... Too bad we can't have a R-10 Nostalgia trip with the R-10s painted in the "Ocean" paint scheme (white over aqua with aqua roofs), as we blast the eardrums of a modern generation...*wishful thinking*...I never did understand why the R-10s were so boomimgly loud when the R-12/14 cars were not... |
