Here's some R40 artwork by yours truly.

 

Neil Azorez and Lady Giovanni (from my noval) ride the Train after a Kanye West Concert and Neil keeps singing "Flashing Lights" giving poor Lady a headache.

 

What can I say, R40 ( passing West 8th Street heading for Brighton Beach.

[trainfan22]

Nice pics!! But the slants will be a rare sight in september.

 

Maybe one to two sets at most will be left.

[metsfan]

Wow, thanks for all the great photos guys!

 

I love the R160 seat in the R40 hahaha, they must be out of parts.

 

For those wanting to get your shots, i'd get them in the next 2 weeks, after august is over, the will be getting newer cars and the 1-2 sets left will likely only run peak hours till they too are retired.
