Bright Lights On R62As

Posted by Nilet on Sat Mar 17 11:33:16 2018

There's now at least one set of R62As with bright interior lights (similar to the R142s). Unfortunately, I don't have a picture; I spotted it on my way home yesterday and didn't have a camera. It's cars 1851-1855 if anyone else wants to go find them.

Good. I think those cars have very dingy and ineffective lighting with the 1960's = 70's back lit advertising style. .

LED tubes replaced flourescent. See TSQ-GCT shuttle.

I've seen these at least twice on the 1 (in the opposite direction) and have also been curious.

Bright Lights on R62As

I've seen these twice on the 1 (opposite direction, perhaps same trainset) in the last week or so, also curious.

Nice spruce up, but I wonder when/if the 1 line will see a non-R62 car running through it in regular service. The line has been solidly R62/R62A for 30+ years now, though it seems fair as a fair share of the numbered lines got Redbirds all those years ago.

Damn autofill bringing up an old topic title. :)

Which cars? I was on the set currently assigned to track 3 tonight (sorry, didn't catch the number) and it seemed similar to other R62/R62As.

It was about two months ago on the track that uses 3 cars. The train was the "Standee Special", the one with the missing seats. Don't recall the car numbers. The lights were bright, because the they were really white in color rendition. The fluorescent tubes the TA normally uses emits a warmer light.

Maybe they used the cars on the shuttle as a test and are relamping others.
