There are now just shy of 200 former Jamaica R-46 units; NOT including that s/b Quincy which was formerly a n/b Romeo to 96/2. That train goes light into CI Yd. and then is a put in for PM Romeo service; it's still a Jamaica barn train. |

Non-railfan riders are content with any car class that overall runs well and has good A/C.Most non-railfan customers will see the electronic side signs on R46s and think the cars are newer than R68s. |

The NTTs have formica or some sort of synthetic walls and they actually more closely resemble the color scheme of the pre GOH R-32s through 42s which were even older than the 44s and 46s. |

Randyo asked “ And why don't all the 68s have a 96/2 reading? ”even if they did, crews rarely change them to the proper reading. I have seen many R68 Q trains with Astoria as NB terminal rather than say 57/7 if they don’t have 96/2. Riders that don’t pay attention often freak out north of 57/7 when they realize it’s not a N/W. |
