[edit] My viewpoints in reference to NYC Subway
[edit] Never let R40ies, my favourite NYC Subway Cars to be gone!
As of me, they are the part of my everyday American Life. Today, it is 15 years as I live in USA. My first two appartmens (since April 1992) were in along the West End Line. That time, it was served by a route B, which used R40ies, until April 1997. R68s entered B line R40ies went on Q.
[edit] Now I live in Sheepshead Bay, where now Q and B lines runs.
- In summer 2001, when I already lived in Sheepshead Bay Manhattan Bridge Repairs started. Subway Route B terminated in Manhattan, being replaced my route W in Brooklyn. Brighton line was served by Q local and Q express routes. R40ies are again close to me, yet in another part of Brooklyn.
- I vas very gald that in February 2004, after the Manhattan Bridge repairs route B returned in Brooklyn, and ran over the Brighton Express line. So, B trains are again R40ies! IN addition to nearnes of my appartment R40ies retained back a "B" letter. History Returns to us and repeats itself.
[edit] R40ies will be gone soon
being replaced by R160ies. Butafter the complete arrival of R160ies there will be new fleet ordered. So: make the new fleet look like R40ies!!!!!
- R40 Forever!

[edit] Never let PATH trains extinct!
From some sources I've read that they will be replaced by newer cars, which will look the the R143/R160 NYC Subway standard.
- So all rolling stock in New York City will be standradrized
PATH cars are favourite to me and to many railways. As of me, they get along with the
- artistic setting of Greenwich VIllage
- business setting of Jersey City Waterfront
- Railfan's paradize setting of tracks leading to Newark, NJ.
Never let them go. In case they will need to be gone, retain some museum copies for:
- NYC Transit Museum
- Some more American Museum
- Museums in Europe and around the world!!!
PATH cars reserve respect, as R40ies. I hope, they will not retire soon!
[edit] NYC Buses
I alway get happy wehn newer buses get to the strets of our city, and dreaming of newer ones. That's why I find this link useful. It helps me to keep track of bus numbering Bus models used in New York City Transit and MTA Bus
