As posted in this thread (704507) and as seen in this thread (704797), the Rockettes rode the Arnines from WTC to 47-50 Sts Rockefeller Center to promote a metrocard discount for the Radio City show. Below are some of my photos. Click the little pic to view the whole album. Enjoy! Oh, and I was very glad to see R-6 1300 as part of the 7-car consist.

Take Pride,

Great shots, as always! Looks like they had the trainset put together in numerical order. Hopefully (soon), #1000 will join the group.

Thanks Wayne!

No, they weren't exactly in numerical order.

100 at the lead, followed by 484, 1575, 381, 401, 1300, and 1802 bringing up the rear.

And yes, I hope #1000 will be able to run on trips soon.

Speaking of Slant R40s, we saw a set on the A passing through Spring Street as the Arnine train was leaving.

You always capture the people aspect of railroad photography perfectly. I love all 37 of the photos. You captured the leggy lovelies, a cute little girl with a Rockette, a skinny Santa Claus wannabe (or maybe Santa needs a to gain a little weight), a Transit Transit interview, and you managed to capture half of subchat's own monorail. Great pictures, and thanks for posting them.

At least they kept the Aplha and Omega of the fleet at the points. I also noticed that 1300's seats have the same upholstery as 401's - or close to it.

You're welcome.

Yes, swap the Santa suits for some ye olde time clothing and some tattoos, and take about 8 inches off the legs, and it might as well have been one of your models there.

I agree with your assessment here. He is one of the very few I see bring the human & physical property aspects into his shots. Don't get me wrong I don't mind shooting the equipment but I am very open minded in my shooting. I like to focus on the conditions of signs, poles, tracks, etc... along with the everyday people who make the subway what it is.

Thanks.

But here's a tip: If I'm taking a photo of it, I'm usually happy about it. Notable exception - NTT cars after their first days of service. I'm sure there's a few more I could think of too.
