They were short a train so the dispatcher kept that R160 in service for extra trips. Where do you guys find this info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before this move, the LEDs were removed, probably to avoid vandalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car (6214) is not in passenger service but the inside is reusable such as scroll signs, LCD and that code box. And R44s and R46s have difference example the cab doors.

If I’m not mistaken the SIRT cars aren’t in married pairs so they can always just disable the cab and use it as a B car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still don't understand. 6214 is an R46. SIR does not use R46 cars. They do use R44 cars. Plus even if they were able to send 6214 to Staten Island, it would still have to be outfittted to their signal system....yes, even though it would not be an operating car. Plus there are exterior differences, FRA stuff. Like handles on the side of the cars to climb into the car via a side door. And they would have to do much electrical work to modify the side doors and put the key hole in there. They are not going to do that. It's a waste of money. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted February 22, 2023 Share #7972 Posted February 22, 2023 waste of money and effort that would get them, what, maybe another year or two out of the thing, with the 211S on it's way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the East New York ones… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
