LRG Posted September 3, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 3, 2009 That is one good-looking R38 train! Lol The borrowed some of the ©'s equipment during the Chambers Street signal fire. Of course, I do wish the R38s would have ventured onto other lines, like the Eastern Division tracks, than just on the and . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted September 3, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 3, 2009 I think it's an out of service train. The V relays at 2nd Avenue, I don't think it would be logical for one to be turning at York St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nel070 Posted September 3, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 3, 2009 rhere was an r38 train when they were testing the line on weekends before the officially came to qb in dec 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted September 3, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 3, 2009 I think it's an out of service train. The V relays at 2nd Avenue, I don't think it would be logical for one to be turning at York St. The image caption notes that it was taken in January of 2005, right when the service was knocked out for a few months. The used the ©s equipment at this time, so I doubt that the train would be OOS. The image was taken on a Tuesday (yes, I went back in time...lol) and the runs on weekdays only.

I knew that photographer and he took some great pics of the V on Fulton st. So you are correct. I too have a pic of an R38 on the V in Queens Blvd. It's also up on Dave's site.

The V relays at 2nd Avenue, I don't think it would be logical for one to be turning at York St. Train was in service replacing to Euclid during Fire of Chambers but damn the looks gd! I miss the R38!!!! The good old days!! That train was an in-service train. Everybody should know why that happened.

SubwayGuy Posted September 4, 2009 Share #13 Posted September 4, 2009 Yup I never had the privilege of meeting him but from what I heard from others he was a real "character" in a good way and could make anyone laugh...he was willing to laugh at himself too and never took things too serious...he also took VERY good photographs and had a purpose to each shot he took which made for some very original ideas... Like I said never met him unfortunately but not enough like him in "the hobby"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted September 4, 2009 Share #14 Posted September 4, 2009 I remember in threads with pics, he would do a pic by pic critique. I remember he would have some weird transit dreams too (i.e. a PATCO train at 96 Street-Broadway on a low level platform, and some other weird stuff). If you have ever came across that "Farewell to the (9)" vid on Youtube, he made that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Broadway Local Posted September 11, 2009 Share #20 Posted September 11, 2009 The date of the photo was January 25,2005. The R38 train may have been running to Euclid Avenue on that date. It would have stopped at East Broadway and York Street prior to Jay Street-Borough Hall. Mr. Dante D'Angerville took the photo and a nice one.

Of course, I do wish the R38s would have ventured onto other lines, like the Eastern Division tracks, than just on the and . Agreed. I hated the fact that the (NYCT) never sent the R38s to any interesting lines before their untimely demise. I started riding the subways regularly starting in September of 2005. If the R-38s had gone on any lines other than the and after that point, and up to March 18th of this year, I would have been most pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted September 12, 2009 Share #22 Posted September 12, 2009 Damn what yr was this, how did he died tho. Thats sad! At a very young age... Never meet him tho.. He died in Spring of 2007. Here's the link to SubChat where the news surfaced: http://www.subchat.com/otchat/read.asp?Id=207035 Agreed.

It sucks when one of your favorite fleets are situated on one line and one line only because if you want to check out the fleet, you have to travel a distance to check it out! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
