C (New York City Subway service)
[edit]- ... that the C train of the New York City Subway has a fleet described as the world's "oldest in continuous daily operation"? Source: NY Times 2017. "In fact, the C train cars, once the pride of the subway, are now, according to New York subway officials, the oldest in continuous daily operation in the world." The R32 subway cars were delivered in 1964.
- ALT1:... that the C train, described as the "least loved of New York City subway lines", still uses subway cars that date to the 1960s? Sources: NY Times 2017; NY Times 2011. "And then the C train, that least loved of New York City subway lines, rumbles sadly into the station, its faded tin-can siding a dreary reminder to passengers of an earlier subterranean era."
Improved to Good Article status by AmericanAir88 (talk) and Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 16:45, 29 June 2019 (UTC).
Recently promoted GA, article is long enough, well-cited, and free of copyvios or bias. Both hooks are cited and quite interesting, and will appeal to many readers, especially those familiar with the NYC Subway. @Epicgenius: As before, only a QPQ is required before I can fully approve this nomination.
