Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Jun 8 01:46:23 2013, in response to Re: Last run of the R30, posted by SUBWAYMAN on Thu Jun 6 02:24:31 2013. The GE units were all retired in 1983. The WH units lingered on, in ever dwindling numbers into the spring of 1987. In their final months they generally clustered to the M line, though they occasionally ended up on the L, J, Broadway R and at least one set ran on the Astoria/Broadway B (yellow) in each direction during rish hour (I used to chase that train a lot, it kept a fairly common schedule). I really felt bad for M riders, and did not understand why they had to have virtually the entire remaining fleet assigned to it, instead of being spread around to the J and L. |
