Funny you should mention all the sounds of the R1-9's. I sure miss the sounds of the R1-9's, Low-V, BMT Standards, & the LIRR's MU's, especially when the motors would go on for a couple of minutes and go off. Well today I went to Branford for the first time. Although none of the subway cars were running all the trolleys that were running made alot of the same sounds and it was great to hear them!!!
By the way, I really enjoyed the trip. The motorman on the return trolley trip, George, turned out to be a regular reader of this forum and we had a great conversation. Thanks for a great day!!
On the way home the traffic on I-95 was terrible (should've) taken the Merrit/Hutch combo so I decided to take the Port Jeff Ferry at Bridgeport. When I asked how long a wait without reservations I was told (with a straight face) 24 hours!!!! So we ended up at Rye Playland!!!
