The (6) has 43 trains in total, 40/43 for the rush with an additional Jerome rush hour set.

 

I wonder if 239 St/Unionport would lend a hand to the (6).

Does the TA purposely instruct yard dispatch to lend ONLY an R142 to the (6) ? Because If its just a Rush hour put-in why don't we see an extra R142A ??

Maybe it has to do with the fact that there are almost double as many R142 sets as there are R142A sets on the (4). If I remember correctly, there are around 230 R142 cars and 130 R142A cars assigned to the line.

I just saw a Not In Sevice R142 on the 6 express track going towards Pelham Bay Park on my way to Manhattan. Couldn't see the number but it was definitely an R142 with that noticeably loud HVAC. Do they lend trains from the 4 on Sunday's for tomorrow's rush?

A credible poster on Subchat said the car wash at 239th is OOS until the end of the year, might have been a NIS (2) train going to take a bath...

 

This would also explain the OOS 62 sets people are seeing on the Pelham line.. as the (3) line's fleet usually go to 239th to get washed but there going to the (6) line instead.

Wait a second! He says he saw it at Pelham Bay. Westchester yard is after Middletown Road...

 

Something isn't adding up...
