Pristine R-68 #2884 |

Posted by rbseabeach on Tue Nov 3 13:13:57 2009 As everyone knows the R-68 was introduced on the D line in 1986. It was clean, shiny and new. It had polycarbonate windows. Vandals discovered they could scratch their tags into the windows. Then when the R-68A was introduced, it came in with glass but the vandals used other tools to carve up the glass, then they ran out of room so they started to scratch and carve up the steel interiors. Then came the acid etching of the glass. FINALLY the TA declared war on glass scratchitti in 2007. Today the R-68's all have new glass with vandal resistent screens. As a result the windows are MAINTAINED scratchitti-free. Unfortunately the stainless steel walls are still destroyed with the R-68A cars looking the worst. ANy one have any ideas how to deal with this situation? Replace the walls? Buff them or change the interiors. I rode car 2884 this morning and there was practically no wall scratchitti. All of the glass was sparkling and it was the closest I have seen an R-68 to perfection since 1986 when they were first introduced. |
