I sort of agree with you that it does get repetitive and I probably will not attend as well. I believe I asked you last year on how we/they can do it differently? You worked there so you know the logistics and restrictions involved. If you can come up with something reasonable I have no problem advocating for it. |

Like the other one in December, this is the same old route, same old delays, same old foamers jumping all over the place. Here's an idea, have the vintage trains run the express track on the West End, after boarding at BB, doing what the NX did, except run the structure instead, cross over at the track right outside 36th street, take the Sea Beach express track straight through Stillwell, back to BB. Since the wooden cats can't do tunnels, have them go between BB and Ocean Parkway |

BB, through Stillwell, express on West End, cross over track north of 36th Street, Sea Beach express track back through Stillwell back to BB. Have the wooden El cars do the shuttle between BB and Ocean Parkway |

When I was in high school, one of the upperclassmen was friends with the late Fr. Cosgrove, who was a TA chaplain at that time.Our school was able to charter a train of D-types from the NYTM for a "Subway Social" dance event (and, like a complete and total idiot, I missed it). I have been waiting to ride a Triplex for a very long time; hopefully I'll get to see and ride one on Saturday. |

IINM 6112C's electric portions were reworked to m. u. with the IND old timers. Or did they redo both units on both ends so they could m. u. will all prewar steel equipment? |

Well, they had to change the slide (electric portion) on the AB so it could MU with the D and the R-9 since the original electric portion on the AB was entirely different. |
