MK R-42's still on and . ENY now all-time high at 718 cars (!) Where are they hiding them all? There's still R179's oos, so that's the reason why they still have R42's. But that'll change soon. If the R179 issue didn't happen, the R42's would have been transferred already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are still avoiding laying up tech trains at 111th street. They didn't want Tech trains layed up there cause of fear of graffiti artists tagging them. @Jemorie It's common to see 1 - 2 sets in service off peak. Meanwhile they Store trains between Bowery And Canal Street where the Cars get more bombed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a 179 on the layup this past Monday morning when I was on my way to school. Kinda caught me by surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R32's got transferred in 8 car consists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know which one you saw. An educated guess would be that more R-42's can be transferred any time now, but ENY is clearly using them as a "crutch" against NTT unavailability. The R-160 fleet at 207 Street for stands at 20, but there's still just one 8-car consist out there, with the one same old lone R-179 and LOTS of R-32's. No R-46's at all right now on . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's NOT official: I am informed that the above move was strictly for storage purposes because of a lack of parking space at the East New York facility or on the entire "Eastern Division." Again, there are 718 cars currently assigned, an all-time high by far. "No decision" yet on future assignments for the MK R-42's, but they operationally healthy and are not being retired at this time.
