Re: Holiday train will make express stops only

Bill, has the terminology changed at some point?
When I was growing up, the RFW was the window on the extreme left of the car. The center was the storm door window.
In either case, the drop down windows on the AB/D types were terrific, especially before sealed beam headlights were installed. Looking out the fronts, there was no glare back from the car's interior lights, and the dark tunnels added to the excitement, like being in the fun house of an amusement park. With the AB's having a very small anti-climber, we could actually feel like part of the train itself, with our heads out the window.
Riding over the Manhattan Bridge to Brooklyn, we could feel being swallowed up as the train entered the dark tunnel, hearing every wheel click over the rail joints.
Just not the same anymore.
