Consisted of cars 3646-7, 3828-9, 3888-9, 3894-5 (All cars from the final run). Also this week, a train from Concourse was sent to Coney most likely for scrap. Probably either for a movie shoot, Brake testing or a protection train for the Museum train That set that that was from Concourse is a scrap train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted July 27, 2023 Share #291 Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) 3828-3829 are now retired as of today. Although, 3938-3939 was spotted at Jay St-Metrotech last Friday mated with the other 6 cars from post above. That will substitute for said retired units.

The bridge forever ended the possibility of BMT lines trains traveling to and thru Staten Island, which had been proposed via a never built tunnel, earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T to Dyre Avenue Posted August 7, 2023 Share #295 Posted August 7, 2023 How did the bridge end the possibility of building a parallel subway tunnel between Brooklyn and Staten Island? Like this - https://www.vanshnookenraggen.com/_index/2022/02/a-tunnel-too-far-part-2-hylans-dream/ I don't disagree that it wouldn't be cheap. But I think the real problem is a lack of will more than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traildriver Posted August 8, 2023 Share #296 Posted August 8, 2023 I believe you answered your own question. Since the bridge was built, it was no longer necessary to build a subway tunnel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slantfan4281 Posted October 9, 2023 Share #299 Posted October 9, 2023 I know this is a little off-topic, but is there any chance they could start reselling the rollsign boxes from retired R32s or R42s? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted October 13, 2023 Share #300 Posted October 13, 2023 The R32 3389 (NYC) that's currently at Staten Island's Clifton Yard, this unit has been labeled as LT001 with the drum covered in white with the Staten Island logo. 3388 remains at Coney Island Yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
