Posted by Wayne-MrSlantR40 on Wed Dec 17 00:22:16 2008, in response to EE BROADWAY LOCAL - ORPHANS OF CHRYSTIE STREET , PART 3, posted by RedbirdR33 on Mon Dec 15 20:23:00 2008. I was a regular on the "EE" at the end of '72 during my messenger days. My first ride on it was an R-6 mix from Whitehall to Canal on November 29 1968. A more memorable trip occurred on November 4 1969 when I ran into a solid set of R40M's dressed in their Brake Test numbers going from Continental to Lex-60. CB23 was the rear motor and the car I rode in on that trip. February 1970 saw the first instances of R16's that I recall, though they may have appeared sooner than that. I got stuck on an R16 in the jughandle one day in 1972 going from Lex-60 to Qveens Plaza - we sat and sat and sat and sat then we reversed direction and waddled back to Manhattan, traversing that switch that's no longer there in the 11th St Cut.-wayne- |
