Harry Posted September 23, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2007 I was at Staten Island at my cousins house who lives around the corner from the SIR. So I went on a photo tour of the SIR. I have not been on SIR property in a long time. The system does have a railroad feel to it. Enjoy! At Clifton Station SIR Mechanical Shop at Clifton At St. George Terminal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJerseyT Posted September 23, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 23, 2007 Nice pics! Is it fair to say that it looks more like a subway than anything else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracknut Posted September 23, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 23, 2007 Nice pics! Is it fair to say that it looks more like a subway than anything else? Yes thats fair. They use modified R44's like the ones used on the IND A line. Nice pics Harry! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebbieprops Posted September 24, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 24, 2007 Great pictures, Harry! The SIR seems, to me, like a cross between the subway and the Metro-North. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJerseyT Posted September 24, 2007 Share #7 Posted September 24, 2007 Are the interiors the same as the R44s on A line? Or is it different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Rock Depot Posted October 25, 2007 Share #10 Posted October 25, 2007 Can anyone list the differences between the R44 SIR and R44 NYCT besides the obvious? Cab signaling pick-up bars on the lead trucks, no side destination signs and untill recently, grab irons on the exterior next to each door and under the cab windows. the bars under the cab windows remain but next to the doors have been removed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that infamous 432?, in the first picture?:cool: That car always sounded like an R-68 every time it would accelerate.. That used to be one of my favorite cars to catch That looks like 402. In any case, why is the 432 supposed to be infamous? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAA89 Posted November 27, 2009 Share #17 Posted November 27, 2009 I don't usually comment on old threads. But it seems weird anyone would label a car infamous because it sounds like another car (if that's the reason), so I brought it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
