Cool. Let's play guess the location.

I'm going with Florence, Willowbrook, and Grand. All on the Blue Line.

I have never been a fan of the ultra boxy (VTA, Sacto RTD et al), but MDBF trumps beauy. Had I been in charge, most NYC cars would still look like R32s.

Better still, they should run like the pre GOH R-32s. I was a M/M on them when they were almost brand new and had the opportunity to operate post GOH and the GOH was not an improvement.

I wonder if the police car in the 3rd pic is "blocking" for the LRV

But the R32 is probably the boxiest of the ultra-boxy trains. I mean maybe Berlin's G cars are a bit boxier, if only because their roofs aren't rounded.

beauty is in the eye of... Actually with a couple changes the R11/34s would be even prettier to my eyes. I love SS but the corrugations make it more interesting.

You can the stainless steel corrugation provides some aesthetic interest. But whether or not it's a box is not to the eye of the beholder. It can be quantified. Every corner is a right angle, so an R32 is a box with a slightly cambered roof.

Thanks, WillD, I, too wonder why there are sharp corners, I like radii, or what we were taught when you machine parts ,to,"Break all sharp edges."

This is not the forum to talk about buses , but I dislike the rectangular shape doors on this Nova bus.
