Even though the R32's generally have really bad brakes, really old everything, they are still the fastest, sweetest, coolest trains ever. Plus, it was made before all of these "rail-fan limitations" were put into effect, so it's a lot more fun to just ride and watch outside the window of the A while going at 70 mph on the bridge to Far Rockaway...
I still remember when it went at least 50+ mph just on the strip between 125th and 59th...
