As much as we’re all excited about the R211s going onto new routes, sometimes you can’t proceed without reflecting on what certain cars have done for certain routes and helped make it a fun experience. I have fond memories taking the R68s on the (B) and the (D) a lot as a kid, and now with it being a rare sight, it’s a little bittersweet. We did get provided with a smooth cruise along the Brighton Express. And it was a great way to prepare myself for a fun little fundraiser that Tech Unlimited was running that evening. It would be a fun event where we would raise money for good causes, and we were able to forge partnerships and really help the organization go a long way with reaching out to neurodivergent people. The views at the event were breathtaking as we were 65 floors up from ground level. And I look forward to the next event that the organization will run in the near future. As I prepared for a fun evening with my friends, I hope you viewers enjoy this late midday journey through Manhattan and Brooklyn with a rare catch.
