No, sorry, it will be the R-1/9's for now at least. The AB Standards and one D-Type Triplex unit is currently at the Transit Museum, with the AB's 2390-1-2 is closed up to the public at this time.-William A. Padron ["Court"] |

Kwanzaa is not big and Chanukah is not a gift-giving holiday and not big either, so that leaves only Christmas. Unless you’re thinking of some other holiday. |

Okay, so if that is the case, then why did they put those 3 cars in there to begin with? They could have put in there two other subway cars, like the R38s, moved the R16 to the other side and finished! |

You asking me 'Kirk?Billy Strayhorn's 100th Bday is Sunday, so he's being remembered... In addition, there's work on 6th Av and the 63rd St Corridor this weekend. F's are running into Manhattan on 53rd St as well as the 179th St bound F's skipping 14th and 23rd Sts. Don't know if this would have had an impact on Museum Special. A run on 8th Av/CPW will let the 9's burn rubber...Heh! -Stef |
