" Say hello to the newest Transit Museum visitors: R42 cars 4572 and 4573! You may recognize them from “The French Connection.” They’ll be replacing our R1/9 cars at the Museum this winter."
It's used because Canarsie is the only yard that washes trains in the BMT Eastern Division. So non CBTC trains have to go via the Canarsie line. Proof of this is in videos from the summer with R32s going via the Canarsie Line.

World Peace took the F train from the Queensbridge stop to 34th street. "It was a focused ride... 10-15 minutes."
Metta world peace did take the F train to MSG tonight. "I took the train just like every other hard working New Yorker." -said Ron Ron
The is mostly coonsisted of R160s due to the Montague closure, for someone who doesn't live in NYC, I understand why it would be amazing,
