Do you know when is car 5126 running next week? I want to see the surprise... BTW, great R-68 Hippotacular, pix, ! Hey, no problem, the R68 and R68A train cars are my favorites, other than the R160A and R160B cars. Nice pics. Looks like you caught (Q6). That (Q6) is an error, The train was probably used for rush hour service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are dim you're right, but I can't do much about that, especially on the inside. I can use flash, but I don't want to annoy the other passengers. Thanks for you comment.

Fan Railer Posted February 13, 2009 Share #12 Posted February 13, 2009 I caught 5126 on the the on 1-31-09, facing the southbound direction. but since so much time has gone, i think the MTA would have fixed the surprise element by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be less of the R68/68A cars on the and , and I have not seen any of those sets on the anymore. I'd take photos of the Franklin Avenue Shuttle, but I don't want to be picked on, so I'll leave that alone. Thanks for you comment, Daniel the Cool.

R32 3348 Posted February 16, 2009 Share #19 Posted February 16, 2009 I think the surprise on 5126 is that the interior rollsign is missing. Nice pics! They are kinda dim, but I remember you saying in another thread you made them that way. I think it has to do with the white balance setting on your camera. Set it to a brighter setting and the pics should come out better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted February 16, 2009 Share #20 Posted February 16, 2009 not exactly what i would call an interesting surprise, but that may be true (i wasn't paying attention to the rollsigns when i was on the car itself...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set it to a brighter setting and the pics should come out better. Okay, I'll take your word for that, daylight is the brightest setting for my white balance. I usually have it on auto-mode, which the white balance setting adjusts to the brightness of the environment. not exactly what i would call an interesting surprise, but that may be true (i wasn't paying attention to the rollsigns when i was on the car itself...) Oh wow, however I think that surprise might have been fixed, I'll pay attention to it when I board that train car. Awesomeness!Diamond W!!!!!!!!! :tup::tup::tup: That diamond is a mistake, that's an old rollsign before the signs were changed in 2001 to reflect the Manhattan Bridge service changes. Anyways the diamond sign is looking cool on the R68s and R68As Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
