itmaybeokay Posted January 18, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2013 EDIT: Firstly, upon closer inspection that is an R44 - one of the cars scheduled to be reefed I believe. (if a mod can change the title that would be awesome...) Had a video shoot way uptown this morning - walking to the 191st St station afterwords, I hear a series of truck horns, and turned around to see a hell of a thing.

azspeedbullet Posted January 20, 2013 Share #13 Posted January 20, 2013 why do they leave the doors open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrstone Posted January 21, 2013 Share #14 Posted January 21, 2013 Kearny in NJ, then to Ohio. I would've crapped myself if I seen this on the highway! Also, it puts into perspective just how big a subway car is when you see it on the road next to buildings and cars, doesn't seem that big when when they are in normal use, do they?

itmaybeokay Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share #19 Posted January 22, 2013 why do they leave the doors open? It looked like they had run the tie-down chains through the open doors. Could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8thAveExpress Posted January 24, 2013 Share #20 Posted January 24, 2013 why do they leave the doors open? I think they took the doors off of the train- They can keep them as extra parts for the R46, R68 and R68a They can also sell them here! http://www.mta.info/nyct/materiel/collectsales/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediccjh Posted January 24, 2013 Share #22 Posted January 24, 2013 None are in revenue service (obviously). There are few left at 207, and a couple of cars in the middle of Coney Island Yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly, several trainsets have not been touched since late October, so that may be something... or they probably got scrapped too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
