My feeling on this that I would probably miss the R-32's (but as not much for the R-42's) as the last vintage fleet for me personally when they are all removed from the IND Division next year. One reason because it would be one of the last surviving car types that has a front RFW to look out from plus a geninue bottom side roll sign with the letter code and route displayed (i.e. "(C) 8 Avenue/Fulton").This fact I pointed out to a former high school classmate this past March 2009, when we rode together on the R-32's and slanted R-40's, along with the R-44's running, that were operating on the IND "A" line into Washington Heights that day. Oh well, I better get more of those "joyrides" ASAP on the R-32's, especially on the "C", if you know what I mean... -William A. Padron ["(A) Wash Hts/8 Av/Fulton"] |
