Those Shop photos are great and are some of the only ones i have ever seen of the R30s being overhauled.That does look like the "Main Shop" in Coney Island though,look at the row of R30s with a unrebuilt R46 peeking out.To my knowledge,no R30s were overhauled at 207th Street,as all "Rebulder's Plates" inside the R30s all said "Overhauled By Coney Island Overhaul Shops" with a 1987 or 1988 date on them.I miss the R30s and i too would have liked to have seen them stick around for a bit longer than they did.The R44s fate was very similar to the R30s-more a case of not beeing needed any longer rather than just being worn out.I see a pair of R30s every day as i pass the Coney Island Shops,however these are a pair of "Unrebuilt" Westinghouse R30s now in use as Classrooms in CI Yard.I do miss them,as well as the older "LAHT" Cars which are also now gone.Somehow,the R160s just are not all that interesting.Time marches on i guess. |
