As far as I can recall, I only rode one graffitied train, on a day trip from Connecticut sometime in the spring of 1986. That had been my first trip on a subway since the pre-graffiti days in the early 1970's. I think the 1986 ride was on a downtown N or R from Times Square. But one thing that clearly sticks in my mind was how awful the train looked - you felt dirty just from riding on it. I rode on several other trains during that trip, none of which had graffiti. What a difference.
