3520 was always mated with 3891. It was one of the few mismatched pairs.

3384/5, 3472/3, 3520/3891, 3728/9, 3876/7, 3932/3

R62As 1934+2177-2180 have returned into service on the today. (2177-2180 were involved in the 96 St derailment on January 4) 1934 has red 240 St stickers now.

Quite interestingly, R32s 3810/1 were spotted at Coney Island Yard, which were previously linked with 3520/3891 at 38 St Yard. credits to the person who caught it.

You mean 3520/3891? It’s been linked with 3810/1 at 38th since right after Christmas. Surprised they’re still there tbh.

There’s currently a R32 train running in the Rockaways. Consisted of cars 3646-7, 3828-9, 3888-9, 3894-5 (All cars from the final run). Also this week, a train from Concourse was sent to Coney most likely for scrap.

Eight more R32’s headed to 36-38 St Yard for scrapping. Consisted of 3471/3658, 3642/3, 3694/5, 3786/7.

Seems this might be the more appropriate thread for this. Earlier this week 3642/3 and other former R32 work service units (first of many) were being prepped to leave the system. Additionally it seems that 3354/5, 3471/3658, 3514/5, 3518/9, 3896/7 were heading to Coney to get scrapped.

It was 3888/9 that was removed from the consist. 3840/1 is in-service today.

Yeah, 3360/1. I think Bill meant the first train to run on NYCT property which was an entirely different consist, as per nycsubway.org. The 9/14/64 consist have all been scrapped.

240th St R62A set: 2241-5/2411-5 are running on the .

What this person REALLY doesn’t know is the spent a lot of money on new cars and they aren’t going to “scrap them” just because someone railfan made some petition. Also, open-gangway is a standard design around the world, and has proven very successful.

If anything, they can shuffle the R46s around. The worst performing CI R46s can be swapped with Pitkin R46s or be indirectly replaced by a new R211 set, while a decent Pitkin set gets pushed to CI.

I actually agree with the R211s going to the as long as it’s full length, although we’ll see if the actually does that. As for the , why can’t it just be 100% full length. It’s already at 50% with the R46. When the R211s come, they should displace any four-car sets that are on the .

Some of you guys are suggesting that the base order will go to various yards, but we have to remember, as of right now the entire order (except 20 R211T) consist of close-end cars, as the open gangways haven’t been tested yet. For all we know the gangways can fail and we’ll just get close-ended cars for the whole order. Also, the R211s are coming with CBTC and are supposed to assist with 8th Avenue CBTC, which means the need to be CBTC-ready. This is why I think Pitkin/207 should get the entire base order, and any additional cars from Option I.
