Worlds Fair equipment at 59th Street

Here we are at 59th Street Station on the A, B, C, and D, where we see Worlds Fair equipment on the nightly trash train. We have 2 R33WF's (9337 and 9345) in the lead, followed by 3 trash flat cars, a third R33WF (9315), and a pair of R32's (3798 and 3799), which displays a good example of both A Division and B Division rolling stock in one train. Enjoy the sound of the squeaky horn and the sight of Redbirds and Brightliners on one train. Check out the roll signs on the R32's,which both show the route for the Airport Train. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken at 3:15AM on October 11th, 2009.

I miss the old IRT cars.. That red paint scheme was one of the things I remember from my childhood.

The last 2 cars look like the ones Philly used to have.

@bvestationfan Yep! Freeze the vid at 0:44 and you can see the difference in width between the IRT Redbird and the BMT cars. Well, that's history since originally IRT, BMT, and IND were seperate subway companies at one time. By time it became one system, it was deemed far too expensive to modify the IRT stations, tunnels, and curves to accommodate the wider BMT & IND cars.
