Earle Baldwin Posted October 4, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2007 Here are two photographs taken at 238th Street Station on 9/21/84. I had observed this set of equipment fresh from the paint shop a few days earlier and was determined to catch it before the vandals took notice. As evidenced by my previously posted pictures, clean equipment on an IRT route other than the Number 7 was not a common occurence during this period. Enjoy! It was a refreshing change from the equipment typically seen at the time. Regards, Earle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATCOman Posted October 5, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 5, 2007 Awesome pics! The entire set is white which was not common at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTransitFan Posted October 5, 2007 Share #7 Posted October 5, 2007 These totally white train sets probably were a vandals dream come true. What was the average time period of a fresh coat of paint for these trains before they would be vandalized again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
