Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Thu Jun 6 11:11:56 2013, in response to Re: Last run of the R30, posted by renee gil on Thu Jun 6 07:26:41 2013. I think (not really 100% sure on this) the last run of the R16 date may be Monday, June 15th, 1987 on the M line. Sorry, I don't have the entire consist (my memory is very vague on this), but 6337 was on the south motor, and 6328 on the north motor.You may very well have ridden the last run of the R-16's. Several years ago I did receive a post from a motorman who states that he took a train out of the Fresh Pond Yard. He says that the R-16's had not been used for a couple of weeks but that a gap developed in the service and the yardmaster ordered him to take out one of the R-16 trains that was in storage there and operate over the M Line. He believes that this was the last time the R-16's ever ran in service. Your information collaborates his story. So I would like to add it to "The Book of Last Runs." Larry, RedbirdR33 |
