L line Stations getting a Face Lift. |

Posted by North-Easten T/O on Thu Nov 22 23:38:08 2007 Over the past two weeks all the station in Brooklyn have been getting a Face Lift of sorts. There all getting new paint jobs on all pillars, gates, doors and garbage palls and what even else has paint on it its getting a new layer on it. All the seats are getting striped and resurfaced as well. I don't know what its being done for, but someone I asked said, thinks that its for something next month going on. There even putting in new drains on some platforms were water builds up near the stairs.Robert |

With all the new cars, CBTC, and additional service starting in qbout 23 days, (new pick) perhaps NYCT is considering it a showcase line. |

Wow who woulda thought that in the 1980's or 1970's...."The L: The Showcase Line"....people would have laughed you onto the tracks if that statement was made on that line in the 80's! |

Any chance you can tell us what color they painted BEDFORD Ave?Anyone can post a pic, that would be great for me, since I can't I'm in FL, BEDFORD Ave was my home station. :) |

Back when I road the line regularly, we were the last to have Standards, the last to get air-conditioned cars...etc. |

Actually, the 14 St Line or "LL" as it was called in 1969 was the first Eastern division Line to get air conditioned cars. Due to a delay in releasing sufficient R-42s for promised introduction of air conditioned cars on the 14 St Line, 3 6 car trains of modified R-40s were assigned to the 14 St Line and fitted with the appropriate Eastern Division roll signs. Due to a crew office mixup when I was a M/M in 1969, I ended up being assigned to an early AM run out of canarsie on Friday, June 20 of that year. I was the M/M on the 5:11AM interval out of Canarsie which was a 6 car train of air conditioned R-40Ms and when I blew the horn for the grade crossing at E 105 St, all the passengers in my car applauded. Not only did I operate the first air conditioned train on the 14 St Line but during the following week that I held down that run, I also operated the last train of steels on the line. |

I am going to really miss the old train indicator sign at Rockaway Pkwy that said Forward Cars Only and pointed to which direction the next train would be departing. When I saw they got rid of it and replaced it with that ugly much smaller digital black thing I was shocked! |
