Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Thu Dec 16 12:41:40 2010, in response to Re: Photos: R30's being overhauled at 207th St, posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Thu Dec 16 12:38:20 2010. I thought that some of the newer cars suffered more during this era than the R30's. The R42's especially, which were an absolute mess by 1986. A dark R27/30 was almost unheard of. They usually were well lit and the fans worked during the summer and the heat worked in the winter. Many suffered from flat wheels (especially the cars on the 6th Ave shuttle....yikes) and so were noisy. Usually a J rider was relieved to see one of these things approaching their station, instead of an R16. It tripled your chances of getting to your destination without suffering a breakdown. |
