That is not an R68A rollsign box. It is fashioned our of sheet metal, not plastic, looks to be an in-house job and painted a lighter color than the orginal signbox. Any one know the story behind why this signbox was replaced? nice pix |

They'll be running next summer...........and the summer after that...........and the summer after that..........and a few more summers.They could be on the A instead of the C if last summers' pattern repeats itself............unless they did a proper fix on the cars getting SMS'ed. |

They would probably put less mileage on them if they were assigned to the M, and they could sleep all weekend. Just need a new south sign reading. Have Pitkin and ENY swap 18 8-car trains plus spares. |

No, leave the M shuttle with R160's nites and weekends. But the majority of M's train sets could be R32's and would accumulate less mileage and less frequent maintenance, which is $$$$ saved. |
