trainfan22 Posted July 31, 2015 Share #9878 Posted July 31, 2015 Wow, this is how it was in the old days in the 70s/80s (Or so I heard, I'm only 24) where they have kinds of wacky car assignments to make service. I wonder if this is the first time the 143s ever traveled on the line east of Alabama Ave, back in like 02 I remember seeing a NIS 143 on the Manhattan Bound Track at Alabama Ave I assume it was some kind of yard move, I'll never forget it cause it made me foam Shocked this has so much buzz though, considering the rider's experience of the 143s isn't much different than the 160s.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
