EE Broadway Local Posted July 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2010 I have an interesting question: As railfans and transit buffs, which subway car(s) would you consider a "signature" car of each current subway line (that is, which subway car(s) (R1-R9 through R160) do you associate most with each current subway line)? These are my signature cars: R10, R44 ( R40 Slant R32 Brightliner R68 R32 Brightliner R46 R46 R44 R42 R42 R16 R46 R34 R62 R33 ML R36 WF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
