Those operators had an....exciting habit of riding right up on the timed signals too!No kidding! I actually had such an experience in the Brooklyn-bound tube back about ten years ago, with #4399 the south motor. He got up a full head of steam and ran right at the timers, going at what had to be 45 MPH at least - I said to my friend Simon Billis, who was aboard this train with me, that if we somehow managed to get hit by one of the timers, we'd wind up in the last car! A rather unsettling, but thoroughly enjoyable experience. As for the ugliness, nothing came close! They were SO UGHLY, they were actually beautiful. THEY WILL BE SORELY MISSED. :O( /___wayne___\ |
