My first AA ride was from 42nd St. to 81st and the MONH on May 7, 1967, a dreary, rainy Sunday. The R-1/9s were still the exclusive domain then; I'm still trying to remember if that train had three or four cars. It was on that ride that I first noticed the musical moaning and groaning that the prewar cars with their spur-cut bull and pinion gears were noted for. On the trip back to PABT, we ran neck-and neck with a s/b D train; I still remember the backlit Coney Island signs visible through the flittering I-beams.I also remember when the R-32s took over base service on the AA after Chrystie St. |
