Melvin Posted March 20, 2011 Share #27 Posted March 20, 2011 Isn't FlushingExpress a guy who wears women's cowboy boots? :eek: Anyways I liked the R38's better than the R32 because they were a little quieter thanks to the GE traction motors and the so-called hat where the destination sign used to be located at the top front of the car. I rode them many times in my life on the and . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I easily thought the R38s could have went on a few more months, probably until the end of Spring of that year. Ah well it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share #37 Posted March 20, 2011 R38s and Slants unite! Where's KR for this??? Can someone just label him [under his name] NTT foamer? I mean really.... stick a proverbial knife into the car while at it? LOL! Totally agreed :tup: Unfortunately I never got into photography by the time the R38s had retired, but the experience beats the photos by far.

MattTrain Posted March 21, 2011 Share #42 Posted March 21, 2011 To Flushing Express: If people like to remember the R-38s then let them be. There's nothing wrong with remembering them, right? Your post goes off topic by bringing up rail-fans and the R-160s being under appreciated. You definitely wouldn't have this approach when we remember the R-32s when they retire. Just saying!

Roadcruiser1 Posted March 21, 2011 Share #43 Posted March 21, 2011 The R38's are like fancy R32's with their nice front design. I loved that look. Especially the Pre GOH look with the stripes, and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
