mark1447 Posted October 31, 2009 Share #54 Posted October 31, 2009 u right, but still its nice to see R68/R68A's on the 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 ! It really shows the REAL ! Just like the REAL is the R42s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! 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 trains, and like 1 or 2 were trains. i saw more R160s in the yard tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
