Re: Tuscarora Almanac for November 22

By the time I first saw the BMT standards, I had gotten used to looking for the route and destination signs above the front storm door. The standards didn't have them, only marker lights. I was also puzzled as to why for such a big car, they only had three sets of doors per side when IND and BMT cars had four (I associated the R-27/30s and R-32s with the BMT). I rode on them every Saturday for two years on the Lonesome Larry and to me it was cruel and unusual punishment. Sometimes we'd bail at Union Square on our way back to Manhattan along with just about everyone else on the train (people just POURED out at Union Square) and transfer to the Broadway line for a nice, brisk express sprint to 34th St. That sprint is still nice and brisk to this day.
