VinnyBrooklyn Posted August 8, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2012 I just came from Rockaway Park station and I was thinking how odd it is to have so many different peices of equipment in one place. In the pocket was a R42 getting ready for Express A service to Manhattan, and a R46 shuttle. In the Yard was the retired 2 car R40 and a few R32's waiting to go into Express service. 4 peices of equipment all in one place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted August 8, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2012 If you rode the a few years ago it was even more diverse with R32/38/40s/40m/42/44s. Before that time the had the most diverse fleet before the R160s arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyBrooklyn Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted August 8, 2012 I agree but seeing this nowadays is quite rare. I miss the r38's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q10 Airport Posted August 9, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2012 I remember being so shocked a couple of years ago when I saw the R40 slant on the . To me it's the most interesting design I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyBrooklyn Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted August 9, 2012 The R40 slant is sitting in the yard at Rock Park. Just two cars, they use it for training. For me I remember almost all the slants were on the A line in the mid 1970's or 1980's. If you ever watch the beginning of the tv show "Night Court" you can see a slant R40 in the opening credits on the A line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
