I had a gut feeling the R-32s would eventually show front route and destination signs again after getting those multicolored curtains in the late 60s, and I was right - for a while, anyway. |

One of my regrets is that I missed visiting NYC from the mid 1980’s to the late 1990’s – the R10’s were my favorite cars from my earlier visits and I never took a single ride or photo when they were rehabbed. I guess I should just be glad that I did get back in time to ride and photograph the IRT Redbirds and the R32 to R42 fleets before they disappeared as well. |

What was really neat was, I never saw the R-32 when they came out in 1964. By the time I rode one on the N line in the mid 1970's they were all bombed with graffiti.In 1987 /1988 The MTA cleaned them up under the clean car program. They painted the interiors and they painted the exterior doors back to the original blue. THey looked great that way. It was unfortunate the way they returned after the GOH program. |

I remember the R-32s as delivered very well, especially the green backlit 57th St. side signs on that very first subway ride of mine in 1965. Their blue doors were distinctive and they made express runs look easy. |

The HH shot is great - nice to the subway on the turn form the graff era Shiny slants no less.I remember olive green stock on the C when coming in from the UK via the JFK express (and being impressed from the 1984 squalor) .... |

Posted by Howard Fein on Fri Dec 11 15:08:42 2009, in response to Re: Some new goodies from nycsubway.org, posted by G1Ravage on Tue Dec 8 00:10:03 2009. Yes, it does at that- except it's not. I never knew the pre-GOH blue-doored 32s ran on the Q before Archer, let alone rode one. Immediately after Archer, the B and Q briefly got some blue-doored R32s. But the Q ran as the weekday Brighton express, and the train in this photo is on the local track. From April '86 to December '88, the Brighton line's express track was out of service and there was weekday 'Yellow D'/Q skip-stop service.During that period, orange-doored R32s as well as 27/30s, Slants and 42s- all pre-GOH- ran on the 'yellow' D, and probably the Q as well. A couple of years ago, I think someone DID capture me at the RWF of a Slant bypassing a Brighton local stop. I do appear on the Beach 67 Street platform from a distance in a 1973 photo of a D-type ERA trip. http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?6553 |

Well into 1987, there was always one or two clean R32 Q trips which originated/terminated at Forest Hills in the AM rush. I rode them often.If memory serves me right (to quote Chairman Kaga) the immediate days after the Archer Ave/Manny Bridge flip (which was 21 years ago today, holy crap) saw R42's on the new orange Q, not R32's. The last ride I ever took on a pre-GOH R42 was on this route the week after the service change. |

Circa 1985-88 the blue-doored R32s seemed to come out of Jamaica, and the orange-doored R32s out of Coney. I can't remember when I last saw an orange-doored 32, but the last blue-doored, non-A/C 32 I saw was on the N in May '90. The first grey-seated GOH'ed 32 I saw was on the R in August '88. The A/C wasn't working. |

The 1986-88 era makes me foam easily, for several reasons. It was my most active railfan period, I was a teenager and just exploring the system, it was a significant transitional period as grafitti and old cars began to give way to clean and new cars, and there's a dearth of photographs from the era available online. |

There's a laughable back story to those temporary platforms. Initially in 1985 they were introduced for a track replacement project meant to last 18 months (in practice it took a lot more). Within months of their removal and the restoration of express service, the Queens Blvd viaduct project began, forcing them to rip up all those new tracks. You'd think they's coordinate the two projects. |

The 2-tracked Flushing Line probably had the smoothest AM peak commutes; doing an efficient merge is apparently harder than the arithmetic. Nowadays it's almost painful on a Flushing local train with the T/O pulling/releasing on the brake lever 5-6 times at many stops. I know that the Corona R62A fleet doesn't seem as sharp as its counterparts on the 1, but come on! I can't recall it ever being so bad. |

There were many car swaps before and after Manny Bridge flip. I saw an R40S on the K on its last day of service. By New Years things were solid. R68 with diamond yellow signs on the orange Q, R40S on the B, R10 and R27/30 on the C, R42 and R68 on the D.R42 were the main stay on the B/K/upper D in 1988 but they vanished from CPW in 1989, later sent to the Eastern Division post-GOH. |
