Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Fri May 22 09:47:23 2015 Tuscarora Almanac - May 22, 1975 - The Book of WrecksThere was a collision today on the center track of the Astoria Line near 30th Avenue (Grand Avenue) Station.R-30s 8507 and 8545 were badly damaged. The car bodies were reportedly transported by truck to the Corona Yard. (They must have been removed from the el by crane.) The damaged end of 8507 was cut off and transported to the Coney Island Yard. R-30 8507 was later scrapped but 8545 returned to service around June of 1977. (Does anyone have more detail? This one sounds very interesting.) Larry, RedbirdR33 |

I only remember seeing the picture in the Daily News. One car looked like someone swung a giant baseball bat across the end, and the other looked shredded. |
