Re: Retirement Plans for R44/46?

The R44s will go when MTA decides that the cost of repairing them and keeping them railworthy is too high, or at least higher than replacing them. If enough new rolling stock shows up to do that, then MTA will eliminate them.

At this moment, it looks to me like some of the worst cars on the system are the R42s on the Jamaica Line. Theey are rusty, have extensive (I mean a LOT) of scratches on glass, paint graffitti on door and glass surfaces, and as of November, didn't look like they were getting a lot of attention. If R143s areshowing up soon to replace them, then it doesn't matter.
