Posted by William A. Padron on Wed Oct 31 07:52:08 2007, in response to Re: Farewell To The R-10: October 29, 1989, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Oct 30 22:26:35 2007. The train was able to go into the 63rd Street Line into it late at roughly around the 7:00pm hour, and that was the real surprise about that R-10 fantrip. The original itinerary of the excursion did not have 63rd Street as listed, and it was scheduled to end at 6:00pm.When the R-10 train had a layover at Jamaica Center (lower level), there was some last-minute talk heard to Rapid Transit Operations to have the train go into the 63rd Street Line. Well, permission was obviously granted, so the train was able to go there after a double reverse track move from 34th Street-6th Avenue. The R-10 consist had a pretty good, steady ride going into 63rd Street when it operated Queens-bound. That train really gripped on the rails on that particular stretch in a such effortless, level manner...a true highlight and a great climatic wrapup, no doubt. -William A.
