via White Plains Road Posted February 6, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 6, 2009 And getting one on the is extremely rare. It is extremely rare....I saw one on the last year sometime and it shocked the heck out of me. IIRC the car number was 1351, but too bad it was taken out of service once it unloaded the pessangers @ New Lots Avenue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted February 6, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 6, 2009 It might have been 1953 or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62A 1991 Posted February 6, 2009 Share #9 Posted February 6, 2009 Like most have said, getting an RFW on the mainline IRT is nearly impossible, as only 2 R62As can run on it (which usually means 1 per day), and the chances of having a half-width cab on one end is slim. The R62s have one little square box very high up that is usually covered by a T/Os bag. However, the NTTs (R142s & R142As on the (2)/(4)/(5)/(6)/<6>) have a blurry RFW, I don't know if that's what you want. If it isn't, take a Flushing-bound or train, they always have one. That's for the A division only. The B division, you'll have just a little more luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for the A division only. The B division, you'll have just a little more luck. NTT's on the have the fiber glass so its kind of hard to get a clear view of the tracks. He's better of with Flushing-Main Street bound R-62A , R-32 on the , , or , R-38 on the or , R-40S on the or (, R-40M/R-42 on the , and and R-42 on the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
