Thanks Dante....lol no sometimes they mixed the R32 and 38 cars together. To tell the difference from a R-32 and R38 is the lines....R-32 have lines top and bottom of the subway car and the R-38 have the lines @ the bottom of the subway car along with that sticker with the red circle around it!

Ok thanks! It's still kinda confusing at times. So I'm looking through some other pics and I see the 38 has that outline-thingy going on around the top where the route sign is. Now I got it! There's just too many trains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8 Av/Fulton Exp Posted August 31, 2008 Share #17 Posted August 31, 2008 it really grieves me that all my beloved cars are being phased out it just wont be the same. I still remember as a kid riding the(D) train up to 205th from Coney Island where i grew up when all R42's were used and the ran express in bklyn over the Brighton line. in the days...i know some of u guys feel old now. I used to love riding in between the cars because i loved all the sound effects it madethe train would make that infamous "da-dun...da-dun" noise as the train would dance down the express tracks zipping by local station after station could barely read the tags on the walls. the same for the R38's id do the same on the line but it had to be one to Far Rock i especially loved because running through the tunnels the sound would be greater as it echoed off the walls with the 3rd rail sparks lighting up the tunnel as if it were animated because of the pillars. Theres really nothing i enjoyed more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducman998r Posted September 12, 2008 Share #21 Posted September 12, 2008 R38s are hitting the ocean my summer 09. IMO the R42s are no way making it until 2013. They are worse than the R38s. A few 42s have already been scrapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo M 201 Posted September 12, 2008 Share #23 Posted September 12, 2008 Funny story behind that train, me and Trevor was talking at the front of the station, only to turn around and see the train is right there and just start snapping away at the train.
