Oh god, the foam...it's everywhere!
Yes, the M did terminate at 36th St. often, whenever a GO caused the N to run on the West End, or if the West end express track at 9th Ave was needed, which was very often. In the summer of 1987 and 1988 a weird GO had the J running from Crescent Street to 36th Street (The M was a shuttle to Myrtle, the J was replaced by the Q49 east of Crescent). Back then the M was an express, so the M (or J when the GO was in effect) pulled into the southbound express track, then immediatley reversed, switching north of 36th to the Manhattan-bound express. These moves were made quickly so as to not block B service, so no fumigation took place and those who weren't alert often found themselves headed back to Pacific Street.
I have never seen a pic of the R40M/R42's just prior to GOH, so this particular pic brought back a flood of memories. I can date it from spring 1987 to summer 1988:
