The only 'modern' B Division line I've NEVER seen the Slants on would be the J/Z, V and the Shuttle; and never on the EE, HH or 'original' K/KK in their existences. In my memory, they ran as follows:L) 1990-2001 The Slants were still on the L in April 2002 when I rode and photographed them around Broadway Junction. |

Does CED actually think about setting final trips on unmixed oonsists or is it up to the yardmaster in grabbing whats available for service? Also can the last ten cars be retired if car type spares fall below 12 and don't exist in this case? |

Riding the R40 Slants on the A last weekend was a treat even though the A was localLucky! I waited at Rockaway Blvd for close to two hours on Sunday. I remember seeing a slant coming in on the opposite direction when I got off my train at Rockaway Blvd. I guess it was the only one running. I should be trying on a weekday though next week so I should have better luck. |

In my lifetime, I've ridden Slants on the A (recently- not in the 80s) E, F, N, W, B, (both West End and Brighton versions), Q (all versions- 6th Ave, Broadway Express/Brighton Local, and the Q-Diamond that ran from 2001-2004), the L, the J (once in late 1999- never even saw another Slant J before or since), and the truncated M that ran from Metropolitan to Marcy when the Willy B was closed in mid-1999.I can't remember, but I think I also caught a Slant C last year, during the few weeks they ranon that line. I know I SAW a few Slant Cs. Can't remember if I got on one. I did ride at least one R42 C. |

As for which lines I have ridden the R40s on (including R40Ms since I consider them as one fleet), let's see. I've ridden them on the A, B, C, E, F, N, R, and W lines. I saw only one slant on the C before at 59CC but it was OOS. |

I haven't been on an R42 on the A, F and R in the post-GOH era.I would really like to get one on the R, which I use somewhat frequently. I don't like local routes too much, but an R42 R is somewhat or a rareity and won't be around too much longer, so I'd be keen to ride it. |

We've discussed this issue as a practical matter. In reality, we've decided that with the addition of 1 additional R-46 consist and 4 additional spares, we'll have sufficient cars to make service without the Slants. So, right now I'd be looking at 24 cars being my bottom line. |

Even though I missed operating the R9s in service I had the opportunity to operate the R9s in work service. I remember the FOUR Motor R9s. I was working Misc. Extra and I was told to report to ENY to pick up 4 R9 horses. All motors kicking I brought the train down the Bway-Brooklyn Line flying. Adding good brakes and it was a dream.Bob |

There were several occasions where the D was split, 205th-2nd Avenue via 8th s/b and west 4th to Coney. When that happened, the north section would usually run a few slants or mods. Best part, the RFW on the D was coupled with a Concourse express GO at least twice. |

When the E went did rush hour service to the Rockaways, slants were on the shuttle.On a couple of rare occasions, GOH slants did run on the J/Z. Around 1987, I had an 8 car slant on the M with cars freshly out of the GOH program. |
