Yeah, I guess it's a different perspective for you. Me, as a young railfan wanted express runs, outside running, going over bridges. I loved the A trains to Far Rockaway/Rockaway Park over the flats I also loved the 2 train to 241 street and Zoo Lots. As for locals, I liked the Jamaica El out to 168th Street

You are correct; I was aboard its final trip today. It was laid up adjacent to a train of R1-9s.

finally got to ride a Triplex at the Parade of Trains today Well today was your lucky day, because the Triplex was taken out of service and laid up. They hope to have it running again tomorrow.

Too bad they cant take it on a different routing for a change, like send it out on the Eastern Div to Jamaica or Canarsie or both. Maybe even squeeze in a quick run to Astoria. Just a thought.

I finally got to ride a Triplex at the Parade of Trains today, along with a train of ABs and a very short SMEE consist (R10, R7A and R16). Love hearing those spur gears on the old BMT traction motors; sounds like a cow mooing. The T/O's on the D and the AB really were giving the air whistles a workout as we rolled past Sheepshead Bay, Neck Road and Ave. U. At one point, our ABs were marching up A4 track just south of Sheepshead Bay, running alongside a N/B Q on A2 with a set R46s, when a S/B Q with a set of R68s rolled by on A1 track. 3 generations of BMT south cars.... Brighton Beach station was pretty crowded (I was there around noon) and those narrow platforms (jammed with a number of very inattentive subway fans)made me feel that a 12-9 could happen there any moment. Still, I loved it....

Tuscarora Almanac for June 6 1936 � from The Book of First Runs The (Benjamin Franklin) Bridge Line opens between Philadelphia and Camden, New Jersey. Trains operate from the 8&Markets Street station on the Ridge Avenue Line stopping in Philadelphia at Franklin Square and in Camden at City Hall and Broadway. The Bridge and the line were built by the Delaware River Joint Commission. Service on the line would however be operated by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company. Twenty-six new cars, Class A-32, 1001-1026 are assigned to the new line and referred to as �Bridge cars�. 1963 � from The Book of First Runs A three car train of R-16s� is placed in service on the Franklin Avenue Shuttle. This is done so that performance data can be analyzed for a possible use of automation on the shuttle. The car numbers are 6497, 6423 and 6443. 1995 � from The Book of Wrecks A Manhattan-bound "J" train crashed into the rear of an "M" train on the Williamsburg Bridge. The consist of the "J" train was R-40M's; (s) 4461-0, 4489-8, 4536-7, 4452-3. The consist of the "M" train was R - 42's; (s) 4622-3, 4611-0, 4587-6, 4665-4. 4441 and 4664 were badly damaged and will be scrapped. Source: NYD Bulletin, July, 1995 Mr. Peter Erhlich provided the following information: 4461 was the one that was damaged. Later, R40M 4460 and R42 4665 were mated, and this oddball pair remained in service until 2009, I believe--one of the last R40Ms/R42s to be retired (other than the ones that are still in service on the J/Z). Stef provided the following information The remaining survivors 4460 and 4665 are still with us at the present time; 4664 was scrapped as planned; the story of 4461 is rather interesting. 4461 was actually rebuilt with the nose of a slant from Car 4260 which had derailed during that time and hit a wall at 9th Avenue. 4461 was actually renumbered 4260 as I recall. It was to be mated with Car 4259, another accident car. The plan fell through as the R40 Slants were retired from active duty. Rebuilt 4260 was sent to Randall�s Island for the FDNY Training Unit.

NYC is mostly safe, but you don't want to be on a bus or subway train between 2:15 and 3:00 when school kids are released. Yeah you def out of the Loop.. Kids acting out of pocket in the Subway is a all day, all night affair now.. I wont even get into the Surfers, the Ones roaming in the tunnels stealing trains, the ones who assault coworkers and steal their tools, the vandals who are stealing parts of New Tech equipment now...

But the C/CC is a fast line.....very few timers. Wrap it around and go to the next station. Wait till they flip the "On" switch with CBTC along 8th ave...
