Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Nov 29 23:20:34 2005, in response to Re: pictures from the r-160 open house, posted by Terrapin Station on Tue Nov 29 23:06:48 2005. I like the way they look. (Remember, I always have liked the R143's too though).The railfan in me of course loves the R42's, and even nostalgically, as I road them since I was a kid, before they were even rebuilt, and looked like crap. However, they are getting worn. It's time. the only reason I would want them to stay is because "we go a long way back together", so they are nostalgic to me, and of course, the obvious, it will be the end of the railfan window on the Eastern Division. Yes a TERRIBLE event, and I obviously will hate that. But from an aesthetic point of view, I think the R160's look pretty sharp. I think they will be great for the passengers. The only thing making me "hate" them is the railfan and loss of nostalgia aspect. From a purely passnger standpoint (which is the reason the subway operates), I can't find anything wrong with them. |
