Posted by renee gil on Sun Sep 8 15:26:42 2013, in response to The R-10's Last Known Recorded Run - 9/8/1989., posted by William A. Padron on Sun Sep 8 14:15:50 2013. The September 11, 1989 car assignment was the first not to list R-10s, though they may have operated for a few days after that date. At the end, the R-10s ran only in C service.the last time that any R-10's carried any passengers was on the E.R.A. "farewell" fantrip on Sunday, October 29, 1989. The trip included operating on such lines as the Franklin Avenue Shuttle, the Archer Avenue routes (both levels) and a unscheduled surprise visit to the 63rd Street Line on its first day of revenue service. By the way, prior to the fantrip, these same exact eight R-10 cars were used at the lower level platform of the IND "F" line's Bergen Street station during the production of the thriller motion picture "Jacob's Ladder" starring Tim Robbins, and that train consist appeared in the film released in 1990. The last of the "Graffiti-fied" R-10s (non-forest green) were removed from service effective November 10, 1988. |
