This was from 1981.Note the yellow paint marks on the trucks.Those marks indicated areas cracking under carbody presure.Around the clock inspections were made weekly.Thanks Joey T.He has had some of the best R46 pics ever!!!

Trin had a RFW...damn. I remember riding the (6) and the R62As had the RFWs...some of the R62As that used to be on the (6) are now on the (1)...the Westchester yellow sticker can be seen under the red 240th Street sticker at times.
