OpenBVE Wacky & Throwback - R62 8 Train

R62 8 train, from Gun Hill Road to 149th Street.
It's both a wacky & throwback run (it's a throwback as the 8 train did exist back then):
Wacky: The 3rd Avenue Line has never used R62s or R62As as the line was already long gone.
Throwback: The number 8 was assigned to the 3rd Avenue line in 1967 when the Chrystie Street Connection opened. However it was only used on maps and station platforms while trains onboard simply displayed "SHUTTLE", even though the line was too long to be called one. It was the only 3rd Avenue service left when it's Manhattan service was closed and demolished by 1955. Previously the number 8 was assigned to the Astoria Line between 1917 to 1949. The line closed in 1973 and was demolished in 1977.
The 3rd Avenue line was completely overground while in OpenBVE it is underground with some overground segments.
There will be a dedicated playlist for these runs.
