I looked on nycsubway.org recently and I found out that 9 R44s weren't overhauled do you know if they still exist? If so do they still have the rollsigns with the blue paint stripes

I thought 10 were not overhauled... 9 of the cars were accident victims, one of which went to Randalls before being replaced by 1.5 R62s and R40A 4461. The other one car (385) was chosen to be scrapped instead, since it had the original braking system, and also since there were not enough R44s left.

It says in my post that #227 went to Randalls for FDNY training
