I do remember rumors of the 8 inactive R32s being prepped for service again, and some of them are even back. But yeah, I do wonder why the 10 work cars were restricted to such service...
Off topic, but does anyone know what happened to R32s 3370-3371, 3630-3631, 3786-3787 and 3836-3837? I heard rumors that they were returning to service.

Just a random thought/proposal like the thread says, but I was wondering if it would be possible to run subway service on the Atlantic Avenue and Far Roackaway Branches and create a direct subway connection to the future 2nd Ave. Subway at Hanover Sq. via a new tunnel...
