I rode them home on the 547 out of Hunterspoint tonight. They remind me of the M3s same seating with lack of headrests. Seats were not as comfortable as the bi levels.

Why can't they also run the spare coach with these? I am assuming it is a platform length issue.

I know I'm dreaming but any chance they can lease some additional power as well?

What's wrong with them? You can barely see out them when the suns out. Look like they were sprayed with chemical and never rinsed and it etched the glass

I would rather see them put the money into making what they currently have operate better. Every other day it there is a signal or switch related delay. Is that going to change with a third track? I could see the benefit of the third track during times when equipment breaks down, but it seems the ma...

There is a set of LIRR M7s outside the building in the yard. Maybe they will make them sandite. They have the car number on the middle of the car under the window unlike the other M7s I have seen in service. I believe one car number was 4100.
