The three BRT Gate Cars last operated on a fan trip to Rockaway about 7 years ago. We boarded a train of R1-9 cars at the Columbus Circle station of the 8th Av. Line and traveled to the East New York Yards where we transferred to the 3 gate cars and proceeded across Jamaica Bay to Rockaway. Wow what a ride going across Jamaica Bay at 45 mph. Hope the cars will operate again someday.
