Eh, well, one reason the top photo would have been viewed more is that it is R27/30 equipment, which is further behind in people's memories than R36 (I barely saw them in service, whereas the 36s I rode regularly).And yeah, that 27/30 looks terrible, as did about 98% of it. Though, every so often (at least from the pictures and documentaries), you'd encounter a car that was so thoroughly hit, with such a variety of color (it may have even been done by one individual) that the original paint scheme was unrecognizable, you'd stop and go... "wow". Of course, it sucked to ride 100% of them. I have very little first-hand graffiti era experience, only as a wee one. It seemed the IND lines were graffiti free for the most part in the late 80s, though periodically something disgusting of an unfamiliar car class would roll through the Queens Blvd line from god knows where, out of service, hopefully on its way to a wash. A few rides on some pre-goh slants on the K up to the Muesum of Natural History was enough for me to determine it sucked. |
