I was railfanning the Astoria RR in 1984 and I wasn't old enough yet to go wherever I wanted. By the time I checked out the M, it was nothing but red R-30s. The only R-16 I ever rode came up to Astoria on the rush hour B on its absolute last legs. |

By then, the R-10s had been scattered all over the place. I rode them as "E", "F", "GG" and even "B" trains through 1981. I remember they still occasionally appeared on the "A", just as they were during my childhood, when R-10s and prewar cars owned the Rockaway Peninsula.(When the Slants were new, they sometimes went out to the ocean as "E" trains, and R-40Ms and R-42s would make appearances on the "A", but the Rockaway Division had scores of Arnines and Thunderbirds covering the service through about 1976 or so. The R-46 mess threw everything into chaos. |

I rode on an R-10 Abbott during PM rush hour once in 1979 or 1980. Naturally, it didn't disappoint on the CPW dash. It thundered and blazed as only the R-10s could. |

Never will forget that R-10 rocket ride out to Far Rockaway in July 1969. Once we had cleared that bridge, we were off to the races. That rain took off as though it had a Saturn V booster strapped to it. |

That's why their sad end on the CC was extra sad to me as they were such beasts on the 8th Ave Express. I even had some good sprints riding them on the E and F lines. |

Yeah, I rode an R-10 set on the rush hour "BB" way back then in 1965, going from 34th-6th to Washington Heights. Somewhere in my collection is a duplicate color slide showing a train of them (north motor unit #3023) signed up for the "BB" going northbound at 59th-8th.After Chrystie Street opened, the R-10's were also quite common on the "AA"/"B" services going up and down Central Park West, even during the 1970's.

I achieved independence when I bought my own car, just before I turned 18.

That was taken two days after the Electric Railroaders' Association fan trip that operated mostly on the BMT Division lines. The first two cars seen there were #3298 (at the point as the south end motor) and #3231. The fan trip train also had cars #3220 and #2955 coupled to those two units.Here is a batch of images from the R-10 fan trip on Saturday, October 23, 1976. Yes, I was on that particular one way back then...           -William A. Padron ["Special"] |

I was banned from riding the subway myself until I got a job in 1988. However, I covertly began my exploring in 1985 when I'd take the A train from JHS 210 at Rockaway Blvd to ENY for the J to Woodhaven. Still had slants on the A when I first did this. Slowly worked up the courage to explore other lines, and when I didn't get slashed/mugged/kidnapped I lost any fear and quickly explored everywhere. |

Wow, I remember riding solo to my grandmother's house in ENY when I was still in elemetary school (age 9 or 10). Of course, this was in the late 60s. The usual scenario was that my school had an early release day, but my mother, who was a HS teacher had to work the whole day. I was attending PS 161 in Crown Heights, so I walk up 2 blocks to President St, get the 3 one stop to Franklin, cross over and get the 2 to Newlots (my grandmother lived close to the station). Of course at the RFW on the 2 :) I even got to see a GO where the s/b track was out of service west (north) of Junius. The 2 from Franklin would end at Utica, fumigate, then relay and head back north. Meanwhile, us geese were directed to the lower (northbound level) where a 2 would arrive. Changed ends and off we went southbound on the northbound (Track 4). Was weird to see it from that perspectve. At Junius, we'd crosssover to Track 1 (usually another 2 ould be waiting to head north, so probably only 2 trains were running the GO. |

Back in 89 when the C became full time service I had 2951 for a 5 tripper out of 145. The only time I turned in the HM pockets. I think the R10s were allright on the CC since they kept mileages down for one trippers. They wore down fast their last 2 years on those 145 to WTC and Round Robins after they did their Brooklyn trip but they still outlasted those shitty Red R27s |

Yeah, for the brief time that they were on the "C" 145-WTC runs, they were quite fun and easy to ride back then. It was better than going way out to joyride them on the Rockaway Park Shuttle, by me having to take that long journey from my home in Washington Heights (Manhattan) to Broad Channel, and transferring there to wait for a train set that was coming from the Howard Beach lay-up track for a 3.7 mile trip traveling the "flats" while running lite.-William A.

Seem to cannot find #3138 on the "B" in early 1970 at this time, so will settle with this earlier image of the car in the middle of this "A" train service. This particular image was during the period when the fleet carried that paint scheme as pictured, and when you most likely operated it on the "B".R-10 #1837 [re-#2984] w/#3138, Rockaway Boulevard, IND Fulton Street Line; July 4, 1969; Collection of David Pirnann  -William A.
