Re: Retired R46's

I also grew up with pre-war R1-9s on QBL and Crosstown.
27-30s were on the RR, which at that time ran to Continental Ave.
Their pink fiberglass seats, fluorescent lighting and Axiflow fans were a big change from rattan upholstery, bare incandescent bulbs and paddle fans.
16s came later on EE and GG. They sounded like they has asthma, wheezing and buzzing.
When the 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46 showed up, they looked and felt like spaceships.
While I was living in Queens at that time, I never once rode a 32.
