This also is an issue with the R142A, R143, R160A and R160B cars too. Nice. - A Thanks a lot.

MattTrain Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted February 4, 2009 nice job Thank you very much, Daniel. Now thats why i love the they are sisters, cuz they merge in the Bronx always and rush hrs in Brooklyn Don't they also swap cars at the 239th yd? Cuz on weekends i do see some as a and as a .. To answer your question, Flatbush Avenue is the common stop where the and swap the R142 cars, regardless of their strip maps. I I believe that the and swap for each other cars at the 239 yard as well in the Bronx. A few times I've seen that yard, I've seen some R142 cars signed as a , so the and swap for each others cars in two places. near Nereid Avenue in Bronx and Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. I consider the and brother and sister of the system, since they're together in Bronx, go their different ways in Manhattan, and meet up again in Brooklyn.
