The Preservation Experience: R16 Car 6398 - Part II |

Posted by Mysterious Friday 1986 on Mon Oct 20 02:16:22 2014 Greetings, everyone! The Preservation Experience: R16 Car 6398 - Part II was just as amazing as the first event that was held just over three weeks ago! We got a few more things done this time around - a bit of body work and welding was done with car 6398, as well as some clean-up of certain parts of the car, including window cleaning. The panels that were removed not too long ago were sanded down and primer was applied to them in preperation for the repainting of the car, which will be coming up soon. A vintage BMT rollsign was also added to one end of the car. Some maintenance was done on the batteries. Air was also applied to the car - we got one of the horns to sound. Elsewhere, Whitcomb Diesel #9 had her batteries charged up throughout the day. Work continues one day after the event, as water was re-added to the locomotive's radiator and work was started on her air brake system. She still have one bad motor, as the generator on this bad motor still needs to be fixed. But today, she roared back to life once again! If you want to see the diesel coming alive, be sure to check out the Facebook link above.  A really big "thank you!" to everyone who came up to participate in this amazing event! Everyone who participated did awesomely. If you'd like to see some more photos of this event, come on over here to this Facebook page - The R-16 # 6398 Restoration Page! Check the page out here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/695825870512502/ More images from the event can also be found here: http://fiveboroughtransit.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/873-the-preservation-experience-r16-car-6398-part-ii-october-18-2014/ Other sights...

The rollsigns are indeed from that of a pair of R32 cars, right before the pair were sent for an overhaul in the 1980s. If I remember, the cars were 3714-3715. |

Thank you (and Unka Kevin).I asked because there are several museums that are known by this board to have rapid transit equipment on their roster (Shoreline and Seashore included) and I think it is important to identify which museum that pictures are posted from.' That way proper credit can be given where credit is due. |

I like that 15 sign. Reminds me of 9-23-67 and that first R-16 consist I rode on. All I could think was, what's a 15? |
