They don't fit in the tunnels.

The Great Neck local trains are already overcrowded during rush hour. There's no way they could support an additional Elmhurst ridership.

Nice to see M9's coming along. As much as everyone loves to hate on the M3's these days, they do have their advantages. If I'm working a local Babylon stopping everywhere, I prefer the M3's. The doors close faster and the brakes release faster too. It makes a long and tedious trip a little more bearable.

The C3's are definitely quieter and have a much smoother ride.

If we pick up the equipment from the yard, they've usually all been chocked open by M of E to help them clean the trains quicker. If we're taking a train to the yard on our last train, we chock them open to make it easier for M of E. If we have a quick turn somewhere other than a station (e.g. Babylon wash), we chock them open to let the engineer switch ends more quickly.
