Guess the location of this picture!

Ok this is way too easy! But I just had this one reprinted. It is R-46 1000 on the JFK Express. I can't beleive the print came out so great. This was March 1990 when I snaped this one. I can't beleive I was 19 then!

Keep Clicking!

I was 22. Did the JFK express go to Queensbridge then?

It looks like Aqueduct Racetrack station.

And yes, the Queensbridge station opened c. 1988, so yes, the JFKX would have been running to Queensbridge in 1990.

Yes, this was near the end.
It did run into the 63rd Street extention for some months, and terminated at 21st St-Queensbridge, but it wasn't long, it was discontinued soon after.

I think that's an R44. Pre-GOH R46 had some kind of removable covers under the headlights (as seen in the picture below, taken 11/1990) and the JFK Express ran R44 in its last days.



Compare that to the R44 pic you took the same year.



I was 26 and single. Time flies.

To answer the question. It was not uncommon of the doors falling off. 1000 along with 1200 were the last R-46 to be GOH. 1000 and 1200 stayed on the JFK Express until the end. 1000 roamed the (G) until she was last R-46 sent out. There was always talk from the few motormen I knew back then of preserving 1 set of R-46's namely 1200. But that went all by the boards.

Anyway you might be right, But I remember it being a R-46. I'll have to look a little further.

I have a few more pics of the JFK Express.

But some of the R46 weren't overhauled until late 1991 so that's not a valid way to differentiate the two.

1000 and 1200 stayed on the JFK Express until the end.

That, I don't know. Possible, I guess. But the pic you posted looks like it is an R44 and that was my point.

I still live in East Village but 1990-1991 was when I also worked there, which means I didn't ride the subway much. I didn't commute on the subway once again until Feb. 1992.

Always being right will make you feel good in the short run, but believe me in the long run you will find yourself very lonely!
People really enjoy conversing and being around agreeable people. Agreeable people have high self esteems and project it towards others, and it in return will build thier self esteem even more!
