Color strips under the car numbers

[lilbluefoxie]

I know the color strips under the car numbers are for the yards but which colors are assigned to which yards?

[Broadway Local]

There is a red stripe on the and , the purple on the , and the gray on

 

There is a color stripe under the numbers on every R62/R62As.

 

So that means the R62As on the are assigned to the 240th Street Yard, the R62 on the to the New Lots Yard, the R62As on the to the Corona Yard, and the R62As on the are assigned to the Mosholu/Jerome Yard.

 

Also, the stripes represent the color of a NYC subway logo.

Here's a breakdown as to what color codes each yard has/had:

 

240th Street Yard (red)

Westchester (yellow)

Corona (purple)

Livonia (orange; I THINK Orange used to represent Jerome while blue represented 148th Street/Livonia).

239th Street Yard (black)

East 180th Street/Unionport (green)

You're missing the point. He was illustrating sticker colors of the various yards. Take it or leave it.

I appreciate your information. :tup: I thought the stripes meant the IRT lines (green for Lex, Red for 7th, Purple for Flushing) until I was proven wrong, which I accept.

Are you ******* for real with that? What makes you so important that something must be changed because you can't see it? Get over your self and remember, the one you can't see is YELLOW.

No, they are or were yard assignments which mean almost nothing anymore but had value when cars could end up anywhere at any time.

All I can say is "sorry."

 

If you don't appreciate my sorry, then I should stop posting.

Agreed :tup:

Yes, I'm serious.

Not objects that are yellow. The words that were yellow, unless if the words were bigger or maybe bold.

 

I think it was my eyesight that causes the problem.

Kid dont sweat it. We all make mistakes. Just think before you post is all.

Well there are people that are color blind or they can't see yellow very well. Well the yard in yellow was the Westchester Yard. It's for those that can't see it very well. Anyway the Westchester Yard is also called the Pelham Yard. It's where the , trains are based out of. That means the R142A's.

Even though you can still highlight bright colors. :tup: I wear glasses, and even without them, I can still see the yellow text.

So when I see an R142A on the or btwn 7671-7810 those cars are based out of Westchester Yard.Lol just j/k.But yea like someone said before the stickers really don't mean anything anymore but the Eastern Division R160's have colored circles indicating ENY-Yard and Canarsie/RockawayPkwy Yd(L).

I coulda sworn the R44s had color strips too by the numbers

They used to, along with the R32s but they removed them a while ago

R30s had them as well (I think the beige/gray sticker under the nmberplate represented the 207th/Pitkin assignment):

 

 

NOTE: This is the REAL 8317, not the impostor 8317 that has CBTC installed in it B)

Some subway cars today still have the color stickers under the car numbers.Only a few some R32's,and R46's.

Tip of the day: if you can't see the text then highlight it by clicking the mouse and rolling the cursor over the text.

I haven't seen any R46s that have the stickers underneath it, I do think I have seen an R32 that has them though.

There were a few with a red sticker, usually only 1 car out of the 4 car set had it. I'm still trying to find out what the blue diamond on a few R46s means.

Summed up perfectly :tup:

The IRT yard stickers were simple enough. I have no idea what the color systems meant for B division though.

 

And covered already about the pics of the with R62As: they were trains borrowed from the and lines, so they were not additional color systems. I rode an R62A set from each line on the a few years ago when going to hs, it was odd, but also a unique ride since the was all redbirds.
