Posted by William A. Padron on Tue Oct 30 08:09:04 2007, in response to Re: Farewell To The R-10: October 29, 1989, posted by Wayne-MrSlantR40 on Mon Oct 29 21:45:40 2007. Well, I rode and/or photographed #3194 on at least four different IND routes/services throughout its service life: "A", "C"/"CC", "GG" and the Rockaway Park Shuttles either from Euclid Avenue or Broad Channel. However, when I rode #3194 in the fall of 1980 with Elsie Diaz Walters (ahhh, that woman again) on a southbound "A" run between 59th Street-Columbus Circle and Broadway-Nassau Street (towards to Pace University), the car interior lights throught out the car were somewhat dimmer at besy.That particular made it is impossible for Elsie herself in trying to read her Business Law textbook while sitting inside the train. As a bit of trivia and later comparison regarding her and the R-10's, when I rode #2974 (as a GOH green-painted car) with her on August 4, 1987 on that northbound "C" train to 145th Street, the car was fully and brightly lighted this time all around. There, Elsie had no problem reading on the train her paperback copy of the novel "Hollywood Wives" (written by Jackie Collins)...not necessiarly required reading for her upcoming but eventually failed marriage six weeks later. -William A.
