TheArr Posted December 16, 2010 Share #7 Posted December 16, 2010 I like the view from R160 trains on the culver viaduct. You can see manhattan, downtown brooklyn, or the ugly gowanus canal below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Broadway Local Posted December 17, 2010 Share #9 Posted December 17, 2010 There aren't many railfan windows left. The R32 Brightliners on the are your best bet. The runs from 168th Street-Broadway to Euclid Avenue as a local. You can also try PATH. The PA-1 through PA-4 cars. PATH runs from 33d Street to 9th Street on Sixth Avenue and from the World Trade Center to Hoboken, Pavonia Avenue-Newport, Exchange Place, Grove Street, Journal Square (Jersey City), Harrison, and Newark (Newark Penn Station). From just west of Grove Street to Newark is outdoors and an interesting run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R42 M Train Posted December 19, 2010 Share #11 Posted December 19, 2010 sorry, whats a railfan window? ima bus guy.... A railfan Window or RFW is found on half cabbed trains on the north and south ends of the train. Its basically the storm door window on the ends with the view of the tracks and tunnels etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted December 19, 2010 Share #13 Posted December 19, 2010 It also depends on what type of view you want. The runs completely underground. So if you want a view I suggest the (J)/(Z), and the . If you don't get the concept of railfan windows, and I did see railfan windows when the (Mx) ran on the West End Elevated with the R42's I suggest you watch the video below of an R42 on the . This one below is an R40S on the ( crossing the Manhattan Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
