So very few people support the Kingston museum that they really had little choice in the matter. Especially after Sandy did as much damage up there as it did in the city, with no wallets opened up to help. :( |

As per the main person who is leading this restorative effort, money is needed to fully restore this car, and to make it come back to NYC to be another operating R16! Once would of been 6397, but a major failure in the power system gave 6398 the chance! Trust me, this is not anything without clear wrap, or else major clean up would of had to of taken place! |

The way I see it, grafitti is a part of 6398's (and many of the other preserved railcars') history. Of course, it is a period of time many people, especially those in the transit community would prefer to forget, but it did happen. The way I see it, one could even say these tags make up a paint scheme that the car did wear at some point. She did look similar to this I would imagine when she was saved back in '87. While I personally would most likely be opposed to tagging 6398, I do feel that, if it is for the sake of getting the funds to help restore her to her best, then by all means (money has to come from somewhere right?). Getting funds and the manpower is hard as it is in this hobby / community, as I've come to learn over time. That said, I really do appreciate the work and efforts by everyone who has been involved in 6398's story. Her story continues; this is a part of that story and it is up to us - those who will be volunteering very soon and those who continue to do so - to keep that story going. |

The monies raised will go to hire its cleanup which should be done before Winter. Its just another lesson in why museums need funds and volunteers and not just photographers to visit |

Let me get this straight: they got money from a group of people allowing them to tag a car. Truth, this is how it went down.Now monies raised to clean it? I think volunteers will paint it properly. Hopefully it will no longer be desecrated and the museum can raise funds in the furure without the need to tag cars in the future or at least 6398. |

Absolutely ... it's looking like I'm one of the few that understand. I keep hoping for some time off to get down there and meet you and Evan in the flesh. I'm hoping for next month before the snow flies. |

Thirteen if you count el cars. |
