I like how the NYTM paired up the BMT standards and the IND arnine cars and the fact that they added US flags on the Arnines reminds me of the Dec-Jan Retirement Runs of the R32.

[@eliasthienpont6330]

Now if I ran the zoo (Never let a lion run the zoo) I would plan a holiday mystery tour. I'd just use six cars, but I would not publish the route. We go this way and then we go that way, we wander across lines never used, into pockets, into yards, stop occasionally to let pax on or off, but not telling them where the train is going or when they can get off.

Old equipment puts a smile on my face every time. Not sure the new trains we have today will be making nostalgia runs 90 years from now.

*My father ( who recently passed away) worked for the MTA for 35 years before retiring in 1999 so as a boy I rode the R-9s before they were retired in the late 70's I loved the ceiling fans*

[@scottyerkes1867]

Awesome show of restored museum cars. I've had the pleasure of viewing these classics at the Transit Museum. Thanks DJHAMMERS Trains😀💚

[@user-is1mo5oo9p]

WE dont see much of the D-Type Triplex cars anymore though.

[@TrainLover-wt9ix]

I was on the train, but unfortunately not for the whole trip to 175th street, but this was fun!

[@michaelrocker9000]

To think that in my lifetime I had been on all of those cars before they were retired.

[@maltitiabubakar830]

Cool

Gg the arnines and bmt standards went on quarter of the b division

[@Thomasjcolbert82]

How do you find out when these run? That’s awesome!!

[@cantecacara]

The Bmt Standard were replaced by R1/9 series. I.N.D. meets B.M.T.

[@8avexp]

You had the Triplexes in between. The R-1/9s borrowed a good idea from them: end bulkhead route and destination signs, something the BMT standards didn't have (and the main reason I didn't care for them back when they still ran on the Canarsie line)

[@djcb4190]

have you been steppin/shufflin lately

[@TheBeagle58]

DAM! how did they manage to get the whole trainsets wheels so badly spotted up, geez!

[@stevem.1853]

I hear wheel flats in some of the shots but not in others (???)

[@DANEBLUEGNOME]

Julie Gnome: Why did they always non stop the train??

[@amiranore1707]

Is it just a regular ticket that you need ?

[@8avexp]

What BMT route did the green-yellow marker light combination use?

[@8avexp]

I looked it up: West End between Times Square and Bay Parkway.

[@BaileyChap]

Hi second!

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

Did the bmt standards ever operate in the Bronx

[@luislaplume8261]

Now they didn't. It was only for the I.R.T. and the IND divisions. I am a New Yorker who grew up in NYC during the Mad Men.

[@jameskerner7782]

What in heavens name did CI yard do to the standards? The paint scheme is not right! If they didn't know the right color, they could have gone to the transit museum to get the right color!

[@mcorivervsaf]

What are you talking about? There’s nothing wrong with the paint scheme! The paint has FADED AWAY over time! That’s why it looks the way it does!

[@davidng2336]

@@mcorivervsaf I mean the R1-9s look like they were recently repainted.

[@luislaplume8261]

[@kevinwong6588]

@@davidng2336 The repaint was at 207th, earlier in the year before the July 10 excursion, only the six cars here. 100, 484 and 1575 are at the museum and would need to be repainted if they were to hit the road.
