+Young+ Posted June 22, 2011 Share #1 Posted June 22, 2011 I'm looking at several pictures from nycsubway.org. I'm looking at (http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?122281, http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?122285, http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?122286, http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?122280) and I'm just shocked that for one R62 mock-up car, as far as I can tell, they need close to 5 other cars as well (R10, SBK Steeplecab 6, R36 9542-9543, and a R68A) followed by the R62 mockup. Does anyone know why they needed so many cars? I just thought they needed 2-3 cars of the same kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still in service, you know. Just my theory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they filmed this near the museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick44 Posted June 23, 2011 Share #4 Posted June 23, 2011 Yes, they filmed a few scenes at Hoyt-Schermerhorn, on the track leading from the museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
