The operating schedule for the 308 and 309 for 2008 has been set and the crew caller is accepting sign-ups. The 309 isn't due to be outshopped until July, but the 308 will be operating out of the 50th Avenue "L" station in Jefferson Street Shuttle service on Memorial Day. In addition to special events on July 4th and 5th, the two cars are scheduled to operate together on July 19-20 and 26-27 and September 1, 6-7, and on Member's Day on September 15.

The B&G guys did a great job of rebuilding the 50th Ave. platform. We could make better use of it if we had a frog in the wire at the west wye. I'd certainly be willing to help. It's been about 25 years since I last worked on the overhead, but I can probably follow simple directions.
Thanks also go to the Track Dept, which did a lot of work to rebuild the 50th Avenue East track. We were able to use 50th Avenue platform for operations on Member's Day 2007; see photo at RailPictures.net.
