But, if you took a look at the YouTube video, the train literally CRAWLED the entire run. Probably stuck behind a regular Q. Plus had to deal with R179 testing on the Brighton line and a whole bunch of construction around Sheepshead Bay. |

One day on the C with a green R10 from Euclid to Bedford Pk. they bought me downstairs into W.4th and turned me into a D. I changed the headsign to D, and they put me on the express leaving W.4th. |

Yeah, I never thought of that- I guess a CPW trip (in the old days) on the could be just as good on the D as on the A. Just less famous :) |

I hear they tore up the Hillside Express stretch in Queens. Lead motor 3080 of a 179th St.-bound R-10 Fred ripped past Sutphin Blvd. in early 1981 at warp speed. I wasn't on that train, but heard an eyewitness account. |

I doubt that they would have been on the N since they didn’t have the proper signs for it. I did have a train of R-10s one day for a midday trip on the B to 57 St even though it didn’t have 57 St readings. The north motor was 3138 the one with the vents in the side door windows. |

The R-10 is a unique car in that it was the only SMEE car ever built with pneumatic door engines like the R1-9 cars. All the cars built afterwards had electric door engines. So the sounds of the R-10 are like no other car that ever ran in the NYC subway system. |

Maybe that's why I thought the R10 was a more modern R9 rather than the first of the next generation when I first saw them way back when. The roof line, the seating, the trigger door controls, the doors themselves. I didn't know from controls or brake systems. |

The origins actually had slower compressors. RPM pump speed less versus the R16 sets and up. That likeness to a slow running singer slowing machine was their trademark to me. |

The R-10, 12, 14 & 15 compressors sounded alike.They also sounded like the ACMU Pullman built cars that were in service on Merto-North, before their mid 80s rebuild. |
