First, I'd like to thank all of you who responded to my question. Never seen that many to a thread I started here.And to answer the question I myself posted: The oldest would be the low-V cars on the remnant of the 3rd Ave El, the Q types on the Myrtle Ave El (on the now demolished section) and the triplex units on the Broadway line. Regarding that: My dad and I used to go to 14th St-Union Square via the F from Queens to the 34th St (then terminus) station, then the RR to 14th St (for reasons I don't remember). On the way back home, he would indulge me a little by allowing me to view thru the front window on the Triplex on the express line from 14th back to 34th. FYI, I was born in late November 1955, and really didn't start riding trains for at least 5 to 6 years, so many of the older units were gone from the system. |
