Maybe 2 or so ... 7 or 8 good quarter cranks with the lever, sometimes more or less. You kept going until you could get the next ratchet and it was good and tight ... |

When the Arnines returned to the museum later, 4192-93 were reefed. |

I still wish one of the "Coming to America" R-38s (3972/3,4032/3) had been saved. 4140/1 is a good choice (first A/C cars in NYC), but one of those could've been the other set. Oh well. |

Very nice, I missed out on the slants on the M when the M ran in place of the N post 9/11. But glad to have rode the slants on the L at least once. |

I will take time in the afternoon to do my last ride on a Slant. I will now have seen TWO car clases be placed into service, run out their service loves, and be retired (R-38, R-40S)...I'm getting OLD! :( |

I was on a R40 Slant on the A last weekend as well, and yes it was a treat! (Though it had to slow down between 42 and 34 St on the Exp track)I've also rode them on the B (West End and Brighton), C, D, L, M (During the post 9/11 service when N and R trains were suspended), N, Q (Orange, Yellow Circle, and Yellow Diamond), and W. They were one of the few classes where showers rained inside on a Sunny day! Not just drops either... |

After the "modifieds" are gone, that's it.I am not too fond of the R42's because they are eyesores and worn out and I feel most of the R32's brakes release too slow. |
