No not crazy. Everyone was not afraid of a dark car. If it was the first car, you could see even better out the RFW.

If you were cool, you hoped a R-40 slant would come along so you could ride between the cars.

The Motorman and Conductor must have hated when high school let out, but it was not uncommon for somebody to pull the cord between Euclid and ENY, or get into the cab and start making erroneous announcements.

Bottomline, when you don`t know anything better it all seems normal. People have a tendancy on this board to look back from todays perspective. Back then complaints went unanswered so you just dealt with it. Subways still cheaper than owning a car:)
