Agreed. the seating arrangement just made them fat IRT cars. To me they were the most blandest, straigforward, just the facts ma'am no frills rapid transit equiptment the City ever seen. From outside paint job to checkerboard floor tile pattern...yawn!Not to mention, very sluggish on the accelleration side. The R-1/9's could put them to shame. As a kid I would see them on the RR in Queens leave 74th st on the local track heading twoards Manhattan & at the same time a set of R1/9's leaving on the express track on the E & the pre war equiptment would always overtake the '27/30's until the RR started to brake for 65th st. Were they that much heavier, 27/30's that is?? |
