i actually took an R46 (C) train one time, going to school. The front had the (C), then the side signs said "C 8 AV LOCAL"....."C WASHTN HTS-168 ST", or suttin like that, and on the back it said (C).

 

it looked really nice. but that was just a one time thing. it was a 10 car set, mustve been borrowed from the (A).

 

you mean an 8 car set....

u right, but still its nice to see R68/R68A's on the (N)(W) instead of boring R160s.

 

True.. R160 is getting boring a bit.. Especially as im into OTT.. Love The R130/142/160.. But the 160 needs a rest.. Most R160 buffs are missing a chance to ride an OTT thats retiring and Im not letting that happen to myself.. Especially since I didnt even had a last ride on the R26-R36. Wasnt much of a rail fan at that time tho..

 

But anyways I do like the R68 on the (N)! It really shows the REAL (N)! Just like the REAL (J)(Z) is the R42s

HELL YEA!!! Thank god the R68/R68A's have like 20-30 more years to go. lol.

 

and if u think about it, this year the R68A's become legal. They're 21 yrs old, lmao.

Okay, but how many trains were in the yard though, be it 160s or 42s?

well it was rush hour, and i saw 6 sets of R42's while they were pulling them out of the yard for Rush Hour Service. Most of them were (Z) trains, and like 1 or 2 were (J) trains. i saw more R160s in the yard tho.
