the R142A's were considered for the but since there were clearance issues with the steinway tubes and also correct me if im wrong but someone here mentioned before that Corona wasn't equipped at the time to maintain NTTs so they ended up going to Westchester Yard instead Wich is why at the time the R62A's had to leave the till it was time for them to return back.
Iv pointed out that R62A's 1651-2000 should be on the and 2001-2475 on the (excluding the 10 cars for the shuttle). I have been noticing lately alot that Westchester Yard have been removing some of the Led lights off on their R62A's , It seams like eventually that they will all come off if this is the case...
Oh well it doesn't matter what we think it was logical for the R62As to return to the . I was saying for future reference if a swap happened there would be no NTT on the since westchester have enough R62As for service. If you think about it the used less trains then the
You do notice that Weschtester Yard have enough R62A's for the by itself right ? ,So if a swap ever happened between the and there would be no NTT's on the .
Also same as the redbirds , that's why they retired in 2003 , the acid baths used to remove the graffiti in the 1970s and early 80s and the very heavy service on the , , , and even took a toll on them.
