The olive drab paint is still glossy, with no subway grime. That destination sign doesn't look quite right. It looks like an R-1/9 sign, judging from the diagonal sweep on that letter S. |

Still looks new and glossy, but its not straight from the factory new. The giveaway is the scrape marks on the pantograph gates, indicating that the lead car was mid train at one time. |
