BMT Canarsie Line

Some of these slides were faded. I tried to adjust the color and contrast as best I could. Although the main features of this set are the B types and R-9's, there are some shots of the grade crossing at E105th St and the soon to be eliminated structures between Sutter Ave and Broadway-ENY.
