A Sad Day In Transit History - The End Of An Era

[Phil D. 0]

Today, April 7th, 2008 is a day in transit history that the R160As hit the M Line, all 8 cars, for the first time. The R42s are still out there running along with the 160s thank god. Everytime I step on a R42 Mikey I will be at the RFW trying to remember as much as I can and experience everything so I have long lasting memories on top of the ones I already have. I don't know how long it will be until my Mikey is full R160, but I hope it takes a long time.

 

Anyway, Here are my promised photos from today. I hope you all enjoy the photos. It was one sad day out there for me today.

Nice shots, I like the last one the best.

I loved the photos. As much as I like the R160A/B, the R42s are living rail legends. The were featured in the French Connection in one of the greatest movie scenes of all time.

Nice shots dude. I have to see what these bad boys look like on the West End with the . To tell you the truth, Im not feeling it; the with R-160As. Perhaps a little getting used too.

Great pics my favorite is the R42 leaving the metropolitan ave.

 

its great to see that R42s are still on the . It looks kinda weird to see any train other than an R42 on the though....
