RokuSix Posted May 3, 2009 Share #6 Posted May 3, 2009 I'd go back to around the early 2000s, just to see the time when the R142As were just being integrated into the system. And of course I'd love to go back to the 1920s, and ride the classier, elegant train sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted May 4, 2009 Share #7 Posted May 4, 2009 I would go to this year and just visit the Transit Museum. I don't want to live through the 70s and 80s in New York City. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted May 4, 2009 Share #8 Posted May 4, 2009 1950's...all the old stuff still running, brand new SMEE cars and most of the elevated lines still intact. Three baseball teams in NYC, good economic time, lots of things going on and plenty of places to go that aren't around anymore or just aren't what they used to be.

bknightshadow45 Posted May 4, 2009 Share #15 Posted May 4, 2009 I would go back to 1990 since the was still in service and got extended to Queensbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 Anthony Posted May 4, 2009 Share #16 Posted May 4, 2009 I would go to 1979. That's when the TA had all the great cars running (except the R44 and R46.) The R10-21's were still running, the R26-R42's were all in it's original color and shape. It was fun back then, because I remember, I could go to the front car of every line, except the E,F, and a few on the A and N lines and look out the window. That was fun.

DarrylR.14 Posted May 5, 2009 Share #17 Posted May 5, 2009 For me, I would go back to around 1990 around the GOH season and when its changing to the "M" logo. Love seeing the running R46 in its fullest form as well as the running the WF redbirds. AHHH the memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
