Same here. The R-1/9s and R-10s were at the top of my list of all time favorites. I also rode on the BMT standards on the Canarsie, but just plain did not like them. Never rode on the Triplexes or prewar IRT equipment, though.

Sadly, the Triplexes were yanked way too soon. None of them made it to 40 years except for the pilot units. What made it especially galling was the fact that unlike the R-16s, which were mercifully put out of their misery, the Triplexes were still running beautifully when sent to slaughter.
