Not to burst your bubble but the redbirds and r32s were not the oldest continually running cars in the system, the oldest art the Q types, originally started as gate cars, and then being converted into Q and QX types, and ran for 60 years, and the last time they ran was in 1969, on the myrtle ave el between jay street and broadway. just my two cents though, btw I can't wait to see the back on the if they are going to be transfered to the , but as long as i see one pull in even if its not my train im happy.
