Today the museum R16, R40 Slant, and R42 made a trip down to the museum from 207th Street Yard and returned to the yard later that afternoon. What they did down at the museum I'm not sure of, but here's the footage from the move:

Enjoy, and please subscribe!




Also, Mr Railfan was with me and took video as well, but he is unable to post on Subchat right now. Here is his video. Be sure to check out his other videos as well!

I hope they re-shuffle the cars so the slants will be on either end, not stuck in the center.

Well it is likely that the R11 will be running too. Between the R40 and the R11, I'd rather have the R11 on one of the ends.

If it's going to be a Rockaway run though, the R16 should be in position as the south motor since that's what they ran on the original train.

If they put the 11 and 16 on the ends of the train then the little kids won't be able to see out the RFW lol.

But still, I hope they put the 16 and 11 on the ends so rail fans can take photos of them.

IMO, historical significance aside, R16 just doesn't have the visual appeal of slants.
Although I'd be fine with slants on north end, as to signify the difference between the different car types; very traditional on one end and very "modern" on the other.

So they do DO test runs with recently restored subway cars. I always wondered if they did that to see if the car is ready or do they just hope for the best the day of the trip.

Also its weird to see the 16 "operational". So used seeing it be a static display in the TM. So eerie seeing it with working headlights and all.

Given the recent behavior shown on these trips by some fans, I don't think it matters what car runs on the points, the kids will get pushed out anyways.

I hope the museum would also finally enforce their rule on No Tripods and Stands. There's always this one guy on these trips who comes with a monopod and camcorder and pushes everyone out of the way to get right up to the railfan window, blocking out enough space for 3 or 4 kids in the process.

A lot of people had a feeling that the R16 was going to make an appearance. The real surprise is the possibility that the R11 could run.

Illuminated guard light on the R16. Door hanging up or a problem with the signal light relay. Train would have to be operated with the side door by-pass button.

Typical R16, nothing's changed!

I'm not sure if it was the same one or if another one was made for the occasion, but the R1-9s had one on on the inaugural trip done when the line to the Rockaways opened last year.

Not sure either, but hopefully the R16 at Kingston will inspire a fast replacement if they don't have the original. Especially after all these years of it being a static display, gotta do it up right. :)
