Unless the plans are not made, be at Uptown 6 local side of 42/GC no later than 7 PM. The train is supposed to arrive around 7:15, if the G.O. is in effect for this run. |

Then you should not post something which is not definitive that they will NOT run today. Not for nothing but people will not take your word as a reliable source when you post a message like this. |

One Low-V ran today - sandwiched in between a string of R-1/9s that stretched their "legs" today from 207th St to Pitkin and return. #100 in the lead both ways and with car #1000 in the consist. Return trip up 8th Ave caught the beginning of the PM rush. |

A little confused by your reply ... my handle comes with me attached, along with a buttplug but I'll always let someone else use it under supervision. Heh.As to the "light-weight composite jobbies" TELL me they're not still handing out those garbage plastic thingies? Last time I was down there, hung out with a switchman in A division and he and I and Nancy were laughing our asses off at what a joke they were. Tits break off so easily, you don't have to leave the platform to turn one of those in, they deliver! Heh. |

But if you stick a Lo-V in the middle of an R-1/9 trainset, what happens to the rear section? Do they still trainline? |
