You beat me to it.

Here is a photo of the last car of the train, taken from about 2 feet away from where Fred got his shots:

On one side, it's sort of shocking to see off the shuttle, and I don't know if I like it. On the other hand, it is a source of revenue for the MTA, and it takes what has become a boring system of identical cookie cutter trains, and brought some life back. I don't know....

Pretty much all trains, including even the Genesis locomotives, are pretty ho-hum designs and have plenty of surface area for ads.

We could start with this one lol...

Colorful? There's only three colors that I see, and only one of them is not black or white. You must have an interesting definition of colorful...

Doesn't look bad at all. However, the last car is a bit painful to see; it should be the same basic scheme on the five-car set.

Wraps cover dirt.....cars need not be washed.....MTA saves money while reaping advertising revenues.

Think about it!

Yes. I guess I can agree. And guess what...that differentiation allows you to "collect" photos of otherwise nondescript, utilitarian, monotonous trains that all look the same.
Think of it like Metrocard collecting. Wouldn't it be boring of the "coporate graffiti" was off the back of them, and they all looked like the old standard issue card?
