Since mid May, the (B) Line mainly had only R68As and R211As running in service. I wasn’t confident that I’d have the chance to get the R68 on the (B) with the rush hour patterns, but with Lady Luck, it showed up in time and it set the stage for the day and to start the amusement park season off strongly. This set was the only R68 that ran on the (B) for the day. For those of you who want to get last memories with this combo, I advise you do so now because it’s looking pretty likely that this could be the final month that the R68 or the R68A is regularly assigned to (B) Train service. Sometimes it is good to be lucky, and with this I will also be able to get two more pairs of rush hour roundtrips with the R68 (D) Train to even out the SMEE roundtrips with the Rush Hour (B) and (D) Trains before it becomes all R211As. With that in mind, I hope you viewers enjoy this rare catch as this is starting to become difficult to find.
