My favorite current IRT cars is the Kawasaki ones on the (3), I love the way they buck and the random hissing sounds they make. I miss them on the (4) my favorite part to ride one was between 42nd and 59th Bronx bound the train be bouncing like crazy. The underwater tubes between BG and BH don't come far behind lol. |

I cannot deal with the interior stainless steel walls destroyed by scratchitti and carvings. They even destroy the fiberglass roll signs. These cars look like tin cans on wheels. Now I have posted about this for the past month and i do nto sense the same outrage from fellow railfans. LEts draw a comparison. Suppose someone was into antique cars would they like to see the interior or exterior of the car vandalized with scratches, markers or spray paint? Of course not. Well we are supposed to be rail fans. Yet we do not seem as outrage over the interior destruction of virtually every R-62 & R-68. To me as a rail fan it is a VERY BIG deal. I try to avoid these lines on purpose.Now if you show me an R-62 or R-68 in brand new condition,which would only be possible if we had a time clock, I would agree. I remember the first time I rode an R-62 and an R-68 I did not want to get off the train. They were awesome. |

I ride them daily, have since they were new, and the stainless steel interiors sucked from the beginning, it is thier only flaw. If any thing the marring of the interiors cuts down on the glare, you used to have to wear sunglasses when they were new. |

I remember I ust to hate the R62s when I was little. This was the time when the 4,5,6 trains had R62s and REDBIRDS.I would get pissed off when an R62 came instead of a REDBIRD. I love the smell of the REDBIRD. I dont care what anyone says the REDBIRD Had a certin smell inside. |
