Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Fri Aug 17 15:28:21 2012, in response to Re: Book of Last Runs - Hail and Farewell to the mighty Standards., posted by CJ on Thu Aug 16 15:45:33 2012. The green R10's were the loudest cars I ever rode. During the summer they were literally ear-splitting as they sped through the Cranberry St. tubes. The R10 overhaul didn't include much more than a tuneup, some new rollsigns (in B&W and only including 4 routes) and a new paintjob. These cars really went downhill in their last year when they were used all day long, instead of mostly during rush hour.The R30's ran nicer, much like the R36WF cars. They retained signature SMEE sounds, particularly when the doors closed. Had these cars had A/C they probably would have remained in service another 7-9 years. |
