R-36 on the (7)?

[airindia78780 0]

Today at Jackson Heights on the I saw a few R-36 cars attached to some R-62A cars, at around 8:20 PM. Is this a special train that gets run every once in a while? And what was the purpose of having the R-62A cars attached?

 

I did not get to ride the train nor did I have my camera, else I would have certainly snapped a picture.

Don't take me wrong on this question: was the train in service w/ passengers or might it have been a yard move? I ask because on tuesday night while driving over the Manhattan bridge I saw an R-62 single sandwiched between two pairs of redbirds headed to CIY on the south tracks.

Work train or a yard move/transfer of some kind...definitely was not in service...

It's a yard move. Check out my thread/pix here on the exact same subject, should answer any other questions.

Probably heading to C.I. yard for service.

work train! During the summer the rto would have the coupled R62A with redbirds since the WF cars dont have a/cs..

 

Same for other lines
