Saying, "Good-bye", to NYCT's R32s in the Brooklyn Army Terminal.

It was a blustery morning on the Brooklyn-Waterfront when the NYNJ Rail picked-up four cars of R32s from the South Brooklyn Railway and took those down First Avenue and through the Brooklyn Army Terminal to 65th Street Yard. Those were the first four cars of R32s taken off of NYC Transit property to be scrapped:-(
Ironically, these left the Property the same way these came onto the Property all those years ago.

Just wondering...do they have the air lines hooked up between the Loco's and the R32?

[@BryanMWade]

They ran an exterior airline when the R32s were pulled by an NYCT work diesel but I wasn't paying attention to how they hooked-up the air with NYNJ Rail...

Did the worker get mad for you at filming?

[@BryanMWade]

No, they expected the railfans with their cameras because this was the first scrap move after the R32 fleet was officially retired. ...and there were dozens of people all along the route filming everything. I was on a Citibike and am pretty familiar with the area so I was able to race ahead of the train and catch it coming through the army terminal. He was commenting that I, "got the best shot." :-)
