W Train Makeover

Photo from wikipedia.org

So I’m riding what I think is a digital N train from Astoria, when all of sudden it stops at 28th Street. I thought it must be running local or maybe the W and N trains had switched routes again. (That happened my first year in New York - one day they permanently swapped which was express and which was local, landing me in Canal instead of Prince Street on my way to work).

But no - it was a W. A shiny, modern W. I like it! They look clean and new, they show the time, and they even have a little video screen showing MTA messages. I wonder if this means that all older W and N trains will be disappearing sometime soon…
