@tomthefunky how can you say nothing has changed.. those redbird cars are gone .. sitting on the bottom of the ocean off the shore of South Carolina.. and now you can no longer even look from the first cars door window like @ 4:25 ... a lot has changed.
@grindsoul I meant nothing has changed in terms of the view of Queens from the 7 train. As for the redbirds, I say good riddance. The new cars offer a much smoother ride. Redbirds threw you around like a ragdoll. And I'm sorry but the fun of looking out the front of the car wore off on me when I was about ten or eleven. I'm now forty.
@airplanefanatic12 The 7 train was the only subway line that had 11 cars. The rest either had 8 or 10 cars. Only exception would be the G train which only has 4 cars
Oh man. I was born in '91 but obviously wasn't able to take anything in. I get "French Connection" vibes from this video. And it's a real shame that a NYC resident's acquired ability to decipher the conductor over a PA is a dying art.
