Oddest of Odd Couples notwithstanding.:)Well, at least the R-40Ms and R-42s blend together stylistically. As long as they don't throw in any R-32s or R-38s in and create a Borgaschmord train. |

Wonder if this could be done to Preserve them at least.I know the Broad Street cars are owned by Phila. and not Septa. They are just rotting away up at Fern Rock. It is sad. I used to ride them a lot. Really liked the Art Deco Brill cars. Maybe something could be done. WOuldn't that be a kicker and run them with the Arnines!!!! Paul |

No. We have the New York Transit Museum. We don't have enough space to exhibit our own cars. Plus we need the funds to at least cosmetically restore our own cars, not someone elses. |

You are dreaming....companies and individuals aren't even making charitable donations due to the poor economic outlook and even though they are profitable some are laying off workers. The Standards in the TM don't even run by themselves right now much less MU with other cars designed to run on another system. |

Doesn't the existing policy of dezoning apply to R44-R68s in which the conductor must establish the new zone after the train dumps and 60 footers would require a new writeup since changing cabs on the fly was always illegal? |

They went up on 8th & 6th Ave Lines, don't know where they would be coming down. After all, the R-110 boards are still up at many stations, even though I think it's safe to say that they won't get pointed at anytime soon. |

They exist so that the C/R can point at them. This ensures that the train is stopped in the right place. Since some train classes have C/Rs in weird places, they have to install extra boards. |
