Look at the sign on the right side of the 10th picture. And look at the overpass in the back.You must be that stupid today not to see the visual clues. |

The B train. The two empty ramps. Anyone who does not know where this is should cease posting to this board, as they are not NYC subway fans. |

The 1988 edition of some NYC Transit publication had a side by side picture of slants pre and post GOH (pre GOH had an orange B, post GOH had a yellow B) so I studied that difference well...You could also say the rubber molding around the storm window but that isn't a definitive difference. |

Some post GOH R40's had the rubber molding on the doors to the end, so that wasn't definitive. All the cars that went through the heavy GOH had their "express" and "local" marker lights removed, since by the 1980's they were obsolete.

No, it is not obvious at all, especially not to the casual observer, which is who I clearly defined the user as. So again, why can't we just see the caption where all the info has already been typed out? |

Don't think those back to back R32's are at QBP - you can see another train thru the door window of the first R32...Not only that, the angle of the roof compared to the next photo, which SAYS it's QBP, is reversed. |

Helped me take a snooze. One summer day at Queens Plaza, I got a dark R46 where the a/c was working full blast! That was awesome - I was sorry to get off at Union Turnpike. |

Zooming at top speed with near total darkness shattered by the speeding tunnel lights was almost like an acid trip, sans acid. Good thing I caught them on the orange D in 1986 before they were "cleaned up". |

The date could be anytime between late 1985 and late 1988. The ironic thing about the redbirds on the J was that they received new signage for "Queens Blvd" just in time for the line to be cut back to 121st St. For the next 3 years, they would be signed wrong, just as they had the previous 7 years when the line ended at Queens Blvd and the signage said 168th St. In late 1988, the cars got new rollsigns (the same the GOH R32's got) which included a "121st St", just in time for the Archer Ave opening. |

All this does is remind me how much the entire system sucks, with the bland NTT invasion. If time travel is ever invented, my first destination is October, 1986. After railfanning all day, I can watch the World Series and remain cool and calm during the final inning of game 6. |

That shot of the R32 cutting was not at QBP because if you look closely, there is an R27/30 set directly behind it, so it could be taken at Coney Island, or maybe at another spot like Astoria Blvd. on the Astoria Line! |
