Seeing those trains brings back memories as to the last time I rode in an R 1-9. It was in the summer of '75 and I was coming from the DMV at Sutphin Blvd on an E Train with new plates for my '63 Ford Galaxy which I paid $200 for.

Too much crossing over. In fact, the one time it was going up CPW when I was on it they ran it express on local.

I assume the crossover will be at some point before or around West 4th St; probably easier to do it that way if the last stop is 96th & 2nd. --Mark

The obvious thing would be to act like an F train from Houston/2 Ave to 57/6, then cross over to the Q track between there and 72/2. A single non-standard move in the entire run.

Had that train gotten out of 59th a tad faster, it would have been a sub-six-minute run. Once it got going, it kept going full tilt until the timers before 125th.
