Much as the title suggests, and thanks to the J Line this past Saturday, it was definitely all about R-32s and R-42s, and did they ever dominate!!!!

Come take a look!! :-)

From 121st Street to Parsons-Archer & back, the R-32s and R-42s were plentiful!!

121st Street.....

A minority R-160 shows up first.....

This ride takes me to Parsons-Archer.....

But I decide to stop off at Sutphin Blvd. first.....

And catch the tail end of my ride.....

And after which I shot this on video.....


And got a still shot too before jumping on and heading off to Parsons-Archer.....

More R-32s and R-42s abound at Parsons-Archer. ....

Now, time to hit the road. Here are two videos, with associated stills, as my new Samsung Galaxy S5 is capable of still shots while shooting video, so I tried those capabilities out.....

R-32 RFW leaving Parsons-Archer, and note the Parsons-Archer bound R-42 consist across the platform at Sutphin.....


R-42 4788 sports the original MTA "M" logo.....

Onward to 121st Street.....


As we approached 121st Street, another set of R-32s departs for Parsons-Archer (shot while recording)

Very nice Paul! Rode a 32 myself last week on the J. Always love the front window view on the elevated.

Thank you, kind sir!! :-)

I was very much surprised to see that the R-160s were so outnumbered by the R-32s and the R-42s.

Thank you, Mark!!! :-)

Well I don't feel highly for the R-42s, as thanks to the crappy standard of East New York Yard maintenance, they've cost me lots of skin from the shoddy cab windows and edges. And the cabs leaked way too much!!!

As for the R-32s, long live those babies!!!! Best in the entire TA!!! :-)
