Re: The RFW Served a Purpose

Mine too. I'd take the E with my dad to 34th St & 8th Ave when I went with him to his office at the NYCRR railyard at 33d & 12th Ave to get his paycheck (payday was on his day off).
The one thing that I remember was how dark it was looking out the RFW to the tracks ahead. The only light cast upon the tracks was the lights from the interior of the cars. This was years before those cars got sealed beams. Those old school motormen had to have a fine tuned operational instinct when running those trains w/o headlights & speedometers.
