LRG Posted July 26, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2010 Anyone pay any attention to these barcodes being put into place in the subway cars? They're all located nearby the car number stickers inside the car (number plates on the 160s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted July 26, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 26, 2010 Anyone pay any attention to these barcodes being put into place in the subway cars? They're all located nearby the car number stickers inside the car (number plates on the 160s). They have been put in every subway car for that matter. You must be talking about this, below 2251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes get some of the positions mixed up in my head. http://nyc.gov/html/dcas/downloads/pdf/noes/pcarmaintainergpa.pdf Except that I didn't look up all the different groups.
