'............A side benefit was having the R10-s on the E and F in their place.'"Maybe to a railfan, but not for us who had to operate them." I liked that but that control stand could be a problem for the family jewels. Your mileage may vary. However us Queens prima-donnas were largely spoiled by the 46. Carry a couple of keys. Oh, now I need a brake handle and reverser? "They could not handle the tough operating enviornment of the E/F." Sure they could. Made many a trip to STL or WTC (and back, lol) with them. Some were fast, and some were slow; but that was true of all equipment. "They could hardly handle the GG." The Galloping Gangster was a breeze. Esp south of the Plaza where the temperature dropped; made a difference in cars w/o AC. "They could hardly handle making a trip on the AM and a trip on the PM on the CC. I don't know how they survived the winters on the Rock Pk. shuttle. One harsh winter they couldn't and we had a dedicated fleet of slants to handle it from Euclid to the Rock. They were victims of poor maintance." No comments on most of that. Only operated them on the A/CC when i broke in there (after that, on those lines, I had the accursed 40's and 42's; hate them with a passion as well as the 38's on the "B", oh sorry the West End.) "victims of poor maintenance" Thems fighting words. I came from RTO, but C&S/CMD/CED and whatever they are called today (while still doing the same quality work) could probably disagree. |
