They only stayed for a short while[a few years] before they wanted the R10's back...After all..they were better cars and worked..where as the 16's broke down..had door problems...and other crap wrong with them. Heh, yeah, and heaven forbid the other lines would be stuck with the R16's...they were "good" enough for the east though..... I used to HATE them with a passion. I remember later still, around fall 1986, the M line was INFESTED with them once again. Even the R27-30's were missing for a while. I remember sitting on one of them one day thinking something to the effect of, "I can't believe they stick us with all the sh*t cars". Then, seemingly as quickly as they took over the M line, they were gone. When they turned up missing, I just figured they were out getting their green paint sceme like the R10's. I nerver imagined they were out getting cut up. The funny thing is, that now, I only wish one of those rolling disasters would pull into the station so I can take a ride on one. Strange...that they[R16'S] were able to run on the Eastern lines for years...covering the n15 almost exclusively untill 1967... What was the "15"? Was that Coney Island to 168th St, via Brighton like the QJ was later on? |
