Glad to see some more work from John-been awhile.
Love NYC "cigar band" stuff for some reason-maybe because
I saw so much of it weathered & washed out when I got into
trains in the late 70's-wish I had a cam at times to get more
pictures of them, as there really isn't that much existing photo
wise online. (I'm half through with a fantasy 40' Jade Green
one-a 30+ year old Athearn BB-trying to make lemonade out
of a lemon)

They're not "Crown Victorias"-they're known
as "Police Interceptors"

Very impressive!  A well-aged look, without being overdone.  Very effective!
