BRT/BMT A/B Standards ran on the 4th Avenue line, into Continental Avenue Queens mixed with GG R1/9 equipment. The 600V Third Rail beginning at the 11th Street cut into the IND Queens Blvd line gave the A/B's a nice kick compared to the 550V used on BMT at the time.I recall catching the last southbound BMT at Steinway Street at 6:48PM, an A/B, as it was making the wide turn into the Steinway Street station at speed, only lumber through the 60th Street river tunnel into Lex. The sight of a BRT Standard doors open across an incandescent lit platform from an R9 at Queens Plaza was a sight to behold. A transit version of an underground Acropolis, and transit smell cologne sampler included. |
