INDman Posted March 18, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 18, 2009 When the R68s were first brought in, they were tested on the line. The pics are very rare because they were only there a short while and there are VERY few pics from the mid to late 80's. An amazing find in every way!

MTR Admiralty Posted March 18, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 18, 2009 Man, they look great! I prefer the Hippo front rollsign than the R46 front rollsign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted March 18, 2009 Share #9 Posted March 18, 2009 That photo was taken in the Spring of 1986. The reason why the 68's were tested on the F is simply due to the Closure of the Manhattan Bridge. Yes, it is a very rare photo. The R68s were partially why the Manhattan Bridge closed due to their weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
