I can't thank you enough for posting my picture of all three fleets in service at the time at Babylon! The conditions that day were brutal, even though you couldn't ask for a more beautiful day. It was July 30th, 2007, in which we were in the middle of a sweltering heatwave. I snapped that photo at about 8:45-9 AM in the morning and it was a Monday. The temperature had already broken 90 degrees with the heat index nearing 100. When I got on the train, it was 100 outside with the index nearing 110. As for myself in the air-conditioned M7 I was in, it was a comfortable 75 degrees. That week it was over 90 degrees every day, and I was 16 when I took the photo, having earned my driver's license just two and a half months ago.

Truly one of the best days of my life, having captured that shot, and it is one of my cherished photos.

Yep, the DM30 on the left, M7 in the middle, and the M3 on the right.
