R62A 1991 Posted November 25, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2008 Hi, everyone. Back in NY for a week. I celebrated by taking my 4000th photo with my new (as of 2007) camera while on business @ the Empire State Building. I only took a few today, as my camera's battery died en route on a Brand Spankin' New R160A-2 (it smelled like that). Things to note: The has gotten significantly more crowded, even at 6 minute headways. We were crushloaded at Pennsylvania (3rd Stop), and the last train left ON TIME. Maybe it's because school is still in. I like the small wraps on the R62s, but when that elusive R62A came by, it looked tacky only being on 2 of the cars in that 10-car set. Like I said, I rode a new R160A today. In fact, I rode 2. And they were both attached to R160B sets (I knew this by watching the boards beforehand). I thought that was cool. Saw an R42 on the . I'm thinking I should head there next? If the MTA is thinking about cutting service, when I arrived @ Penn Station on Saturday night, platform was RUSH HOUR-type crowded and I could barely fit onto the with my bags. CBTC was in effect for at least 2 trains on the , saw from Livonia Av. That's good, because I was hearing reports that it was failing a lot lately. Picture time! The 4000th picture (no, it's not the best. It just happened to be it...) Oh, the gets no love at Herald Sq? I must admit, I was off my game today. So here's some from 2 years ago today! The (4)'s at New Lots during the Rush Hour: That day, I took a full trip on the only R160 set, using its scheduled 8:27 AM departure from Stillwell. Great day. Let's hope I get some better pictures in tomorrow as I head to Mill Basin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they don't, because it's the only Jamaica Line to not receive an R42 yet (although the occurrence wasn't due to Jamaica). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
