I can clearly remember the R40 Slants on the E/F in 1975- I was 7. I thought the angled front was very impressive, and suited for the express. By then, a few R44s/46s had crept onto the F- they were so much quieter, and seemed less "express" somehow. So the E seemed to me the ultimate express- fast, loud, and running imposing looking trains.Near the end of their lives, I thought the slants looked downright silly on BMT locals, like the L or the W. But I'll make an exception for the one time I took a Slant J from Broad to Essex in late 1999- THAT was cool. |
