Ahh, what memories. On Saturday afternoons I used to ride "60" cars on the P&W line. There was this young operator who liked the "60" cars to the Bullets because he liked to stand up where you were forced to sit down with the Bullets. Although the Bullets were faster the 60-cars were smoother-riding because they were much heavier. The sound of the traction motors and the air/clicking sounds in the cab are 60-car hallmarks. There will never be another MU passenger car like the Strafford-type.
That whistle needs to be tuned up.
