'89 Liberty MCI Posted June 2, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 2, 2008 Well even the routings on the and on those signs are possible! If a T/O did that though he'd get stern talking-to from a supervisor.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'89 Liberty MCI Posted June 2, 2008 Share #5 Posted June 2, 2008 I want to see a side sign set for the on an in-service train. That'll really confuse people, they'll be thinking the Train to the Plane is back and just imagine the reaction of someone who hasn't been in the city in 18+ years. They'll get a completely wrong idea that the lives! On a side note if you swing by Concourse yard, in the area bound by Bedford Park Blvd, the el, and Lehman College (southernmost part of the yard), you'll find some R42 trains laying up down there (about to be scrapped I think). Some side signs have the , with "North Terminal" and "JFK Airport," also I've seen a , but can't remember destinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted June 2, 2008 Share #6 Posted June 2, 2008 Those signs are not strange at all.... to some one with a hex key! I one time saw a T/O on an train set the side sign from to an up-side down saying that from the inside it looks close enought. In my room I some times see the very strange (7x) train or the B).

'89 Liberty MCI Posted June 3, 2008 Share #17 Posted June 3, 2008 A hex key. I wish I had hookups like that, but I don't know too many guys from RTO. It's not the same as bus operators, where I can get cool with them easily since their cab is in open space. T/Os and C/Rs are isolated from passengers, so I only talk to them when they're on break or something in the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micstromme Posted June 11, 2008 Share #18 Posted June 11, 2008 That is terrific. The looks good withthese R42s. I just hope that the and get more of these trains before they are sent to a watery grave. Seriously, the sight of them being buried under sea breaks my heart (should I decide to have one-Lol). Also, I can't wait for the to extend to the Church Avenue Terminus. I think that could allow for some exchanges with longer car sets. Even better, the could become an interchanged fleet (R46s, R42s, even R32s, hopefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
