The thing I remember most about the 4000s was the loud clatter they made as they passed by. I likened it to dumping a bag of wooden building blocks on the floor. There may have been some bull and pinion gear noise as well. Did they moan and groan the way the R-1/9s and BMT standards did?
By Chicago's standards, the all-steel 4000s were heavyweights at 38 tons. By New York's standards, there was nothing earth-shattering about that.
