If you ask about the 50s, it seemed the speeds were faster, the operators friendlier to railfan lookers if you were a kid. I remember the little window on the door of the cab, I think it was the AB or Triplex or both, and you could watch the Motorman. Of course in the 50s the trains were noisier, and that made them seem faster too.
