Exactly, this is how I felt. I think the MTA would want their newest Subway Cars, on their Express routes, as they require the most capacity, along with more reliable service. The R142/A's would still be CBTC-capable, and would be more than sufficient for the . Since there would likely be some leftovers, they can go to the . The , like you said, are the longest, and most used of the IRT lines, and being that they do share a fleet, it would make sense for them both to run R262's.

I do realize that, however, I also see the MTA putting a lot of R142's on the , leaving some spare for the .

Here's what I think the assignments are going to be: - R142 - R262 - R142 - R262 + Leftover R142/A's - R262 - R142/A - Stays with the R188's (cuz duh) - R262 I think the R262's are going to the Express Lines, since they are the ones that really need the extra capacity (and the newest stock). If this does happen, then the Locals would probably get the R142/A's in return.
