R10 2952 Posted January 6, 2022 Share #201 Posted January 6, 2022 @BM5 via Woodhaven@QM1to6Ave Yeah, between the Santa-Con trustfund kids, the hipster doofuses on the Holiday Train, and the yuppies doing the No-Pants Ride, I never had any patience for any of the tomfoolery. It was almost always the typical story of 'rich kids from the suburbs move to NY, price everybody else out of Manhattan, then do dumb college-type shenanigans treating the city like their personal playground'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted January 7, 2022 Share #202 Posted January 7, 2022 The R32 final run is still happening this Sunday, people got E Mails from the TM confirming it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted January 7, 2022 Share #203 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) During the evening hour or later afternoon, light rain will happen. So, pack an umbrella if you're willing to be outside for photos in-case it does. Otherwise, enjoy the last run if one of you are attending. The general order for the via Montague tunnel to 96 St is cancelled. Edited January 7, 2022 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, as the trips tomorrow will most likely draw the largest crowds. 1) it's the last R32 runs ever 2) they haven't ran in passenger service on the Brighton in well over a decade, a lot of the younger railfans wasn't old enough the enjoy that R32 train during the Brighton station rehab. If it's only six cars they should have tacked on the phase two cars to replace the vandalized cars. Then again IDK how road worthy the Phase two cars are nor do I know how long it would take to prep them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year the Arnines was on the BB - Ocean Parkway shuttle certainly wasn't 8 cars, same goes for the R38/R33WF mix they ran another year. I think the BMT standards museum train is only like three or four cars long. A TSS be riding these museum runs so maybe the TA let's the whole lack of an C/R board thing slide since an TSS is on the train anyway. Those strict rules about C/R boards mainly apply to regular road trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted January 9, 2022 Share #219 Posted January 9, 2022 Train was crowded like an pre pandemic rush hour train, now onto the revenue service debut of the R211 as the next big railfan event. I love the R32s, glad we got an extra decade to ride them and their stints on the was an nice bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
