Thanks Steve for the 411.

I won't get caught at Far Rock with a movie tomorrow; however I should have more than enough time to get the last, last ride in then head back to 42/PA.

What a bad year 2009 is turning our to be. First the R-38 and now the R-40. Has there been another year when multiple care were removed from service perminently?

What's next? Will R46's keep moving from Queens to the C, retiring the R32's there? Will R40M and R42 be removed from Queens leaving the 207th R32's for last?

R-160 delivieries continue while R-40M and R-42 go to storage. Then R-46 starts moving to 207th St and the R-32s move on in life.

Probably not. If anything, they might do something for the last R-32s, as those may be the last SMEEs in service (unless the R-160A-1 option is delayed, forcing the R-42s at ENY to stay in service longer than expected).

>>>Only a small handful made it into in 1988.<<<

And one of the R-17's that made into that year was car #6688, which has now been at the Shore Line (Branford Trolley Museum) for about two decades now. The car was also used as part of a six-car consist for an ERA fantrip in November 1987.

The vast majority went in 1987. A bunch of R10's were also retired in 1987. Most R27's went in 1989, despite 1991 being the official last run (I think).

Have the train operators on the A been sufficiently warned about massive foaming should they have to operate these cars?

[i]Oh Trust Me they will do something special for the Brightliner's[/i]

Agreed. Now it might be asking for much, but imagine they took a train of R32s (or 3352-53 and the rest of the saved SMEE R28/40s/40M/42 cars for that matter) and run an reenactment on the MNRR to Grand Central. I imagine if they did that they'd have to change third rail shoes or do some sort of modification wouldn't they?

Yeah just got confirmed sightings from my fiancee while she was on her way over here. Saw the slants Manhattan bound at B'way Junction at approximately 11:34am. They were going manhattan bound.

I told her at least she got her sightings. Couldn't get pictures in time but it's all good at least it's a sighting! :D

What a bad year 2009 is turning our to be. First the R-38 and now the R-40.

Actually, it's a good year in that we got to ride the Slants this long - just one year ago, it appeared that these cars wouldn't make it to the end of 2008.

So do I. Luckily, I rode on the last remaining train of Redbirds in October of 2003.
