Nice picture!

From the looks of it, they seem to be painting 6305 to a silver-like color she once used to wear over a decade ago:


Country: United States
City: New York
System: New York City Transit
Location: Coney Island Yard-Museum Yard
Car: R-16 (American Car & Foundry, 1955) 6305
Photo by: Sidney Keyles
Date: 5/22/1999

I do like how they moved the R40M/42 combo to where the R30 School Cars were. I do wonder now if the pair are preserved - not in terms of museum cars, but as in owned by the RPC?

Also a side question - was the R46 car an A-unit or a B-unit? Have they set cars that are in for repairs out there, I wonder...I've only seen museum cars or old cars ready for the scrapper at that location.
