Posted by gbs on Thu Jan 9 22:49:10 2025, in response to Re: [VIDEO] R46 Subway Cars Towed to 38th St Yard, posted by BILLBKLYN on Thu Jan 9 20:59:47 2025. The R44/46 had the handsomest front end of all car classes, mostly because of the flush storm door (which apparently proved impractical and was abandoned in the next several car classes), and the chains hidden behind the trap door, and also the graceful curve of the fiberglass crease above the windows and door.   Of course, all good things must come to an end...  The R68 front is nowhere near as nice looking. The storm door is again recessed, the chains are visible along with the by-now standard springs, and the fiberglass crease is straight across, not parallel to the curve of the windows.  I agree about the RFW and the walking between cars, and while I liked the R46 class originally, when an R46 arrives these days they're sad looking and tired. I never liked the R68 class, especially when they reconfigured and linked them and removed the RFW. To me those are the lumbering hippos. |
