CPW was real nice. The sound was great and the storm door was also great for railfanning. The conductor platforms sucked. I know of someone who was a motorman (old school TO) that was running a D Triplex and his conductor slipped and crawled under the Newkirk Ave. station. The conductor took a cab to Church Ave. to open the doors. I know this wasn't an arnine. but the platforms and door system was similar. |
