Yes, it is there, between 5655 and 8289/8290It was at PS 248, NOT transit tech. Transit Tech still has its R30(8337 IIRC) I dont beleive it was ever sent to linden, although i might be incorrect there. |

It couldn't have been a year ago, because 3005 didn't go to P.S. 248 until the end of July/beginning of August. 6452 has been on the scrap line at Coney Island since then. I don't recall if it went to Linden in between or not, but I don't think it did.

The MTA Training Center is in Bensonhurst and is for employees (D to 25th Ave). They have a car sitting in their "yard" for crews to train evacuation procedures and such. It had an R16 for many years, but that was replaced with an R110B unit last summer. |

I got it.If you look carefully, that is the same school on the opening credits of "Welcome Back, Kotter". |

Cars went to Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, Smithstonian and a whole lot more. These trainsets did magnificent service. Give 6452 a break.I cut my skills on the Redbirds and those trainsets are in my heart forever. Propulsion, Undercar, Carbody, Troubles and POWERTEST...I bugged because I wanted to RUN. CI peter |

Was ripping mad when I found out all my marked trucks were removedbefore carbody got sunk. Mebbe we gotta establish a Redbird-deadbird eighty meter AME rest in peace net. AME as in AM equivilant broadcast quality audio....not 'silly sideband' with a pilot carrier. |

You mean the Museum of Science and Industry has a set of Redbirds? If so, I've got to go there the next time I'm in Chicago. My only visit to that museum was on December 19, 1965. |

IIRC Shoreline was offered the R-16 that wound up in Kingston for free and turned it down. They probably figured that one SMEE specimen was enough.I'd still like to see a sister unit for 1689 wind up there someday. Well, that's my pipe dream, anyway. |
