Oh Ok, Otto. Probably that photo from around 1970 then. Besides, no NYCT routes, even being the largest transit system, doesn't leave the city limits of New York.

Maybe they'll have to remodify it and put an above ground portion of those trolley tracks and run trains at Seashore aboveground. That would be something.

I would LOVE to come kids, but problem is, that the MIAA Softball State Final Championships are on that day at Worcester State College. So, the only way to come see j00 @ll would have to be if there's a rainout or postponement set by the MIAA, and in that case, I can then join in the railbuffing fun...

Sorry to revive this topic, although I wanted to let all know here of my latest DE experience. Yesterday, 04/11, our train (0681) pulled out of BON at 9:45 AM with P42 103 (first time I've seen a P42 rather than a P40 pull the DE) and trailed by Cabbage Car 90213. We went by pretty much on time for ...

Yeap, that's right, 255 was REALLY hurt.....

Thanks for the scrap info, Mr. DutchRailnut.

I think..........Chicago. That's their main hub, I guess. Another hub is NYP, plus not to mention, LAX.

Mr Paniagua, Your option is to take the overnight Regional train from Boston (formerly known as the Federal) and connect the next morning in Washington, DC. Only marginally better than a 3AM wake-up to catch the early morning Acela Express but it's still an option. Actually Mr. Cbaker, I wasn't pla...

I though the last trip was 1991, but I also guess that 1990 or 1989 was the last R10 regular-basis run, maybe used for one or two fantrips afterwards. Just my guess though.

I also like the slanted R40's too.

Yeah, you're right, they shouldn't have installed ATO for Braintree Extension use, in fact, the whole Red Line could do without ATO even these days, so that way, operatours can do up to 60 mph. Maybe it will happen someday, but one can only dream......

Ok, DR. Although the trailing F40 was indeed 255.

And as a Bostonian, the Combined "Super Silver" Train will force one from here to take the VERY EXTREME First Train Regardless (that would be Acela Express 2151) leaving at 5:15 am! But you can't ride the MBTA Red line to that train, sice there's no T Red Line Service at 4:00 AM, so that m...

Yep, the Silver Spring did not involve AEM-7's. I believe the Amtrak train was led by a P42 (or similar Genesis). The Amtrak Engineer, realizing that there was no way to avoid the accident, sped up his train so that it would begin over the interlocking and the MARC train would split the Amtrak trai...

Yeah, I know, they should have saved those two cars instead of 01450/55. I liked the R40 Slant-Type end they had when they put in the fiberglass. I don't think that NYCT has any fiberglass equipment prior to the R42 though. Now if anyone wants, feel free to post your 01400 memories here! I would lik...

According to Rollsign magazine, the last revenue trip of 01400s was December 12, 1994, cars 01452/01481-01472/01475. Oh ok, I though it was January 31, 1995 as a fan trip. this must have been a revenue regular run trip. But if there wasn't a fantrip, then no problem either. Another thing, where did...

Well folks, I was wondering?

When was the 01400s' last revenue run? Dec 1994, or January 31, 1995? I think the latter for fan trips, but if anyone else knows, let me know here.

I'm sure many of you remember riding them, I definitely do, and they were AWESOME!
