According to Joe Korman’s site, the #4 and #7 are assigned almost exactly the same number of cars, 410 vs 409, but the #6 is assigned 460. This means that if all of Corona’s R62A cars are transferred to Westchester yard, Westchester would have to maintain a mix of R62A and R142A cars. However if Corona’s cars are transferred to the 4, and Jerome yard’s R142 and 142A’s transferred to Westchester, then Jerome, which already maintains 20 R62A cars for the 42 St shuttle, would be 100% R62A, while Westchester would maintain two much more similar R142 & 142A fleets, simplifying maintenance at both yards. Also, the 4 makes fewer stops than the 6, especially along Lexington Av, so the narrower door openings would be less of a problem. |
