Maserati7200 Posted December 28, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 28, 2008 I was wondering what those colored lines under the car number plates of the R62/A's meant. I've seen many different colors (red, yellow, purple, green, blue, black) and they must mean something, Does anyone know what? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted December 28, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 28, 2008 Those colored strips represent the yard from which the train comes from, for example Corona Yard serves the lines, so they're color scheme is purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted December 29, 2008 Share #4 Posted December 29, 2008 Those colored strips represent the yard from which the train comes from, for example Corona Yard serves the lines, so they're color scheme is purple. Most of those colours reflect back to the line colours from the 1972 map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTrain Posted December 29, 2008 Share #7 Posted December 29, 2008 Like what some people said earlier, the colored stickers underneath the number signs indicate where the train cars are stored. The BMT/IND cars used to have stickers underneath their subway car numbers, most notably the R68/R68A cars, until they were removed in 2000. R142 and R142A's do not have stickers underneath their car numbers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted December 30, 2008 Share #9 Posted December 30, 2008 Well, how come some is red and/or yellow? I have no clue!!! The yard probably forgot to change the colours to purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainmaster5 Posted December 31, 2008 Share #10 Posted December 31, 2008 Lenox Yard was blue because we had R62A equipment then. The repair facility for the is Livonia Yard. The picked up the fleet when Mosholu Yard started using NTT equipment. As for the fleet, it now consists of R62A cars from the , and lines, hence the many different colored strips they have.

MTR Admiralty Posted January 8, 2009 Share #15 Posted January 8, 2009 Oh really, I just have to go check. I like the colors, the Train of Many Colored Stickers! All the cars that were transferred to Corona had their stickers changed. So its a uniform purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted January 14, 2009 Share #17 Posted January 14, 2009 I saw few R-62's with Red, Blue and Yellow on the , what happened? You have their numbers? Because if they belong at Corona, they technically should have the purple stickers. If they belong to other yards, then I have no idea what they are there.

MTR Admiralty Posted January 14, 2009 Share #19 Posted January 14, 2009 I cannot see the numbers on Van Wyck @ 60Mph but I am sure there is a mix of Blue, Red and Yellow... ??????????? I don't think that proves anything much though. And when was that? Five years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted January 17, 2009 Share #21 Posted January 17, 2009 After riding the Flushing Line daily for over two years I can safely say that I have seen every car on every train that runs in service. Someone who rides a line like that regularly sees the same car about 4-5 times a month. I can safely tell you that every single car has the purple sticker. A yard worker/dispatcher will tell you with even more confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
