Brighton Local Posted October 19, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2007 I had purchased this photo from a bunch of older gentlemen at a Flea Market Near my old house in Richmondtown, Staten Island. They were selling whole bunch of Transit Pictures and Tokens.. Slant R40's on the Culver F at the veryy old and dirty Stillwell Av Terminal. Looks to be early to mid 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Broadway Local Posted November 18, 2007 Share #9 Posted November 18, 2007 A classic photo! Back when the R40S, R40M and R42 were new, the letters looked like that. Prior to 1979, the was magenta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
