Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Fri Nov 1 16:45:42 2013 Found these M-3As, #s 8007/6, on Track 102, sporting more of the "Get Outta Town"/"I Love NY" ads, and I will admit, while I still describe this as corporate vandalism, I actually think the M-3As look rather sharp, having a chance to get a good look at the ad wraps!! So I had to get a few cell snaps while on my break.M-3As 8007/6, GCT Lower Level, Track 102......       Thank you for viewing!! Hope you have enjoyed!! :-) |

Are you listening??? I already told you that it's not vandalism and it's not really corporate. It's government. Several others told you this as well. |

How can a government slogan on a government owned train be vandalism? Not to mention there's no "corporation" involved. Andeeven if there was....it would be paid for so not vandalism either. |

The MTA has also "corporate vandalized" several LIRR M7 sets.Here are some photos from the MTA's Flickr page:    I must say, the full exterior wrap does look good on the M7's. I thought the small banner ads under the windows they tried on for size not too long ago looked awful, but I like how the full car wraps look. |

It actually looks better on the M-7s. See, MNR should've done it on either the Bombs or the M-7As. I think they are better suited on new cars more than 30+ year old cars. |

The Bombs look older than the M3As, even if they aren't. The wraps probably work better on stainless steel cars than they would on painted cars. |

I admit, they do look sharp. Seeing how they look good on LIRR M-7s, they should put a few on ours here. |

Those are much sharper looking than the ones on the LIRR diesel coaches. I have no problem with the way they look. |

Between 2010 and 2012. Their conversion was stopped for a while due to budget issues, but the program was reinstated and all of the M-3As have been converted. |

That is your opinion and I would not try to change it no matter how much I may disagree. But I may add;Legal Definition Vandalism The intentional and malicious destruction of or damage to the property of another. http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Vandalism Since the MTA sells the space on railcars that it owns, it is not legally vandalism. |

It looks like shit. The equiptment should look like it did when it left the factory. There should be one area where the public should not be exposed to the barrages of excessive ads. They see them on the way to the station,on the highways, in the station...etc.Everyonre was bitchin about the griffiti on the equiptment in the 70's now that its fine tuned & looks neat nowadays, & generates more $$$ that makes it ok?? Well, fine! How about makin the added revenue apply to raises to all the workers that have been working for years w/o a new contract or more importantly, a raise?? Graffiti is just like prostitution, pot smoking, gambling..etc. You cant wipe it out, then legalize it. Such is the ad wraps on the equiptment nowadays. Legalized graffiti, & the MTA pimps are cashin in. And the rank & file just wait. |

In GCT, I noticed there was a 4 car set being done over on site on Track 102 one morning, so the work is done in house. LIRR and MNR have more than enough resources to do the work in house without having to outsource it. |
