On Tuesday, December 20th morning on the there was an individual showing a gun to the conductor so, she could open the doors. But, was arrested at the location. Glad that the crew and passengers are okay from this chaos.
3664 and 3744: both at JFK hooked to a tow truck individually to Eastchester for scrap. 3744 is at the scrap early today while 3664 is hooked to the truck now for departure.
And a Merry Christmas to all that’s this Sunday and Monday.
They are still here, said units above. However, they still have working OMNY and Fareboxes attached. It may change without one in weeks or that they are out of service for maintenance up to a month.
3198: ex College Point unit that’s retired has been converted to a holiday break room for MTA crew close by the C.I Yard whenever they have a pop-up selling their antiques.

Units that are still active as of current: 3007 (at College Point depot), 3356 (at Yonkers depot- not at Eastchester scrap), 3702 reflected on the list is a training bus at Zerega facility for now. And 3665 - returned to JFK back in service from ECH for parts collection.
29 from this assortment: 8964-8965, 8972, 8977-8979, 8985, 8987-9005, 9007-9009. Unless a new unit is coming for delivery (or that I'm missing a unit).
For now, they are still at JFK at the parking lot spot or inside the depot. JFK does keep units out for a while for heavy maintenance to go back in-service or rotation for swing duty. They still have working fareboxes unless it changed recently but for now, they are active out of JFK unless it has changed later on.
There was a pause on NovaBus deliveries for MTA Bus, last delivered unit happened a month ago. However, it has resumed yesterday as two buses, 8994 and 9004 are in house at Baisley Park Depot. Approximately, 48 Old Gens are at JFK and 2 spares at LGA.
The train yesterday had about 2 train sets this past Monday. Not sure if the AM rush tripper was kept on the the whole day. Around 5 PM at Times Square, I got on a Alstom A-2 set to Sheepshead Bay. Cars were 9797-9793 and 9588-9592. Another set that was told: 8818-8822 and 9823-9827 B Kawasaki units.
