Re: Tuscarora Almanac for July 23

Posted by zac on Tue Jul 23 13:36:12 2024, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for July 23, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Tue Jul 23 08:41:55 2024.

When I was railfanning at 10 years old (can you imagine letting a 10yo go on the subway by themself these days?) I took an N train to 62/New Utrecht and changed to the West End and was shocked to see an old train pull into the station. I can't remember if it was a standard or a triplex. I thought they were all gone by then, and it would have been 1965.

The next time I rode a standard it was 1969 when I went to Stuy and rode the LL before the R9s started to appear. The R9s didn't seem like an improvement at all, replacing one old car with another. Only when the R42s appeared there did it feel different.
