  • fuck i would of killed to live a day in them days

    that right there is heaven

  • Nonsense. The average MTA car is meant to last about 30 years (ideally). So let's see, what kind of cars did they write on:

    R16s? from the late 1950s? Which lasted 30 years before being retired?

    How about the R40s and R42s, which are ONLY now being retired after over 40 years or service.

    Be a little more open. Graffiti decorated the subway. I hate seeing these bland silver cars.

  • who knew????? QUICK WAS SUCH A HATER!!!!!!!

  • those were the days. who ever decided to remove these beautiful old trains is a moron. now a days, these young college yuppies messed up the city by making it look like the land of make believe. And the trains today are pieces of shit looking monerails u see at DisneyWorld.

  • @mattiscirom same man glory days,my dream in life is to paint a nyc train even if it dont last

  • quick is such a sell out

  • everyone who writes should decend on nyc for a day and just get markers and hit the insides and paint and cover the outsides and then nyc will be nyc again

  • Why does it have to be gone??? Nothing said NYC like all the beautiful colour and character. Now there is nothing memorable about the city cept all the memories of what it used to be.

  • Devious Doze Rocksteady Crew at the end there!!! Big up!!

  • It also lead to the demise of several great subway cars too. R10-R22. R10s outlasted the R12-R22s. The 110 GOH R10s were retired by September 8, 1989. The fantrip took place in October 29, 1989. Ironically four years after the R10s were retired they also got rid of the GOH R30s. What happened to both the GOH R10s and R30s was also the saddest in the subway's history. Only two R10s survive and about 8-10 R30s.
