Union Tpke Posted June 26, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2013 Sadly, I wasn't alive to see them. They are really nice cars. Luckily, one R30 is part of the transit museum. I think the MTA should save more old subway cars such as the redbirds at Unionport Yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the 24 R27s that were painted in that paint scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
