That's quite a contrast compared to the first time I saw an IRT train from the Cross Bronx Expressway on June 4, 1967. Then, it was a clean train of racy red R-29s or R-33s. The first thing I noticed was that there only three sets of doors per car side instead of four, which I had gotten used to seeing on the IND and BMT. I would learn later why this is so. Plus I hadn't seen the BMT standards yet; that would come a month and a half later on July 20.
