A video on Youtube shows 4 R32'S on a train in Fairport NY heading for scrapping numbers were 3878, 3879, 3928 and 3929. On a channel called virtual railfan . Sorry it was 3929 not 3829 typo.

Same place in Ohio MetroNorth and PATH sent all their scrap cars ?

Maybe that is now for asbestos issues.

LIRR sent their M-1's to both Quebec and Mexico.

Never knew LIRR sent their retired cars out internationally, interesting

Really sad to see them go like this. They did had a good run and hopefully, more can be retained for Work service.

Most work service equipment are former IRT cars so they could be used on both divisions.  Powered work cars on the B Division are now retired form passenger service R42's for the garbage trains.  You'll be lucky to see any R32's retained for work service.  3642/43 and I believe 3694/95 were being used for the garbage train.  No more.

Apparently, someone impersonated themselves as a MTA employee was caught entering the rail yard without approval/permission. Person was on a job for time then termination. Although, noted on the MTA for him on the banned list.

I read that the person was a terminated cleaner who had some unauthorized RTO keys in his possession. The article said that he was a " buff ".

The number plates on some of the R32s have been taken off.  Seen from an image taken at Concourse Yard. 287154943_1865068860370000_6629618335985
