Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Tue May 30 14:54:07 2017, in response to Re: [PHOTO] When The R-40M's Were New, posted by SUBWAYMAN on Tue May 30 11:06:03 2017. When I was a kid, before I knew about R-numbers, I thought that the Modifieds and the R-42s were one and the same (the difference are subtle, especially to a 9-10 year old). To me 4450-4949 was one class of car I referred to as "A/C" (for obvious reasons) (Back then, I didn't know about the last 100 Slants having air-conditioning, that was a pleasant surprise for me in the summer of 1973 when I was railfanning out to 179th St and got an A/C slant on the trip back). Of course, there were the 10 experimental air-conditioned R-38s (4140-4149?), but I'm not sure that I ever rode an R-38 at all, A/C or not. I certainly didn't post-GOH and I can't remember if I did pre-GOH (would have been before I moved to L.A. in 1976). |
