In 2012, the projected "final" assignments called for the unitization of 1926-1965 for use on , with 1901-1925 to be left as single units for assignment to and in Work Service. Don't know if that's still the end game, but of course would require a multitude of juggling to rationalize the fleet. Then there's this more recent idea about two tracks using longer consists on the shuttle, instead of three with the 10 cars its had since 1964, if not before that. The shuttle overhaul is a question of when, not if. The ADA improvements were approved last week which include reconfiguring the shuttle platforms. I would imagine at that point 24 cars would be assigned to the (4 6-car trains, 2 for service, 2 spares). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it just today on the way home. In fact, the interior of the Union Square wreck has a train strip map on and they haven't removed those for a few years now (1-2 to be exact).

Wasn't there an R127/R134 at Corona Yard too? It is still possible that it can be used for garbage and/or work service though, just wondering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those R62As can provide some AC comfort during the summer. Also, seems as if the R188s continue to cycle through 207th St Overhaul Shop. I saw R188 (Converted) 7541-45 layed up outside the shop recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
