I rode from Sheepshead Bay to Kings Highway every day in the early 60's, to Junior High School, over the old US&S interlocking, tower now demolished. And then 3 years more to DeKalb (Brooklyn Tech), ... still today, 60 years later, the landscapes from the windows are familiar, the row-houses along side the ROW, the depression-era structures, the geometry of Brighton Beach. Most of my memory is written in Triplexes and then R-27's and 32's, but the day that the R-1-9's first came down the pike, November 1967, the opening of Chrystie St, I will never forget... thanks for a load of memories. Wish I coulda been there....

Was such an enjoyable time and good to see the parade of trains once again

Can you do this: Trains can't stop at or pass thru 4 Av 9 St (F/G/R) lines ((D/N) can't pass thru this area, even if going on the express tracks past 4 Av)

I have no clue why you didn't come to the front with me. There was deadass space there.

The B & D trains via the Brighton line, not the Q trains, fool!
