Priincenene Posted July 25, 2015 Share #9802 Posted July 25, 2015 Does anyone know if there's any pictures of Times Square 42 Street pre-extension to 34 St? You mean "Does anyone know if there's any pictures of Times Square before the 34th St tunnels were built?" Plenty of them on Google, Youtube videos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3216068E Posted July 26, 2015 Share #9816 Posted July 26, 2015 Just wondering why they never did the overhaul on the R10s? They were supposed to get an R42 type front installed and get new shiny interior but car 3192 (the first one to get overhauled) never entered service and it was scrapped April 1980 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised some even got overhauled. The last of them retired in the late 1980's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted July 28, 2015 Share #9825 Posted July 28, 2015 You'll eventually get your wish granted once the R32s are fully retired...once again, the has enough frequent off-peak service. The only issue is the constant back-to-back trains and even loads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
