Not your typical subway
Title:  Not your typical subway
Description:  NYCTA had a group of R 40s rebuilt at Sumitomo Rail in Elmira Heights in the mid and late 80s. Rather than ship them by rail, as Morrison Knudsen did from Hornell, they were trucked. We see one of them going around the corner off Lake Av onto NY 17 east(back before the overpass was built and there were three traffic lights there) to head to New York. The trailer was specially equipped and had a steering mechanism to get around corners too tight for its length. It was an interesting sight. Hey, how about those gas prices!!

More typical transit
Title:  More typical transit
Description:  NYCTA was also having some R 42s rebuilt at Hornell. These went back and forth on OIBU and BUOI for the duration of the several year long program. Later, R 44 and 46 cars would also get rebuilt, and ply the rails of the Tier. This R 42 is on BUOI at Elmira, headed back to New York.

Headed for the tunnel
Title:  Headed for the tunnel
Description:  The Ringling Bros circus train is about to enter the East River tunnel at Hunterspoint Av in Queens behind a trio of E60s, which just took over from three LIRR MP15ACs. The train will be turned over to Conrail once in Jersey, and spotted near the Lincoln Tunnel entrance. Tomorrow the equipment and animals will be taken through the tunnel to their show in Madison Square Garden. I am standing on the LIRR Hunterspoint Av station, MP 1 in the foreground is the distance from the Long Island City float bridges, now long abandoned. The subway train behind the Amtrak power is the No 7 Flushing-Times Square train, seen about to leave the elevated line is has been on since just after leaving Main St, and enter the tunnel to make its Hunterspoint Av stop, then Vernon-Jackson, then on into Manhattan. The cars date to 1963, just prior to the Worlds Fair.
