metsfan Posted October 9, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 9, 2008 I just got an e-mail telling me that surplus windows for R143 are available in case anyone cared. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted October 9, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 9, 2008 These windows are probaly from that 8277 set that crashed in the yard. Btw that set is not at 207th yard it could be one of two places.... 1)Kawasaki shops in yonkers or japan 2)Scrapped, i guess they would take the windows out before sending the train to the scrap yard.

I know that 8277 is back at the plant for repairs. As for 8278-80, they might be there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
