R10 2952 Posted June 8, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2010 As we know, not all Redbirds were scrapped. Some were converted to work service. Specifically, my questions are: how many R-33 WF cars are still in work service? Are any R-36 WF cars in work service? I also happened to notice that some of the Redbirds/Workbirds are being fixed up and repainted in fresh red paint, with black trim and silver roofs (the scheme of the good old days, of course). What is up with that? One would think that most work cars would be painted yellow. But most importantly, how much longer are the Redbirds expected to remain in work service?

mark1447 Posted June 8, 2010 Share #6 Posted June 8, 2010 Back in 2002 or something close to that they had R29s as work cars, bu they were reefed. Until when did the R21/22 were used in work service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10 2952 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted June 8, 2010 Also R26 7774-7775, R28 7924-7925, R29 8678-8679 are the only R26-R29s left on NYC property. They also have several R36 cars still around and one of them is in the museum. That's all I know. Are any of them ever going to be preserved? I can't understand why they repainted/fixed up only R-33 car sets, but left R-26/28/29s untouched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, some are still out there (of course, they're mostly sitting around half-dead within the bowels of random subway yards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
