Hope you heard about the extra R46 goin to the G! That might be the reason why the R40M/42 sets you saw on the V! Also, don't forget the R160B sets (9103-9162) got transferred to Jamaica for the trains needed on the F for its R46's to go to the G. Don't forget, the V's fleet suppliments from the F, and the F gets the spill-over from the E, and the R, well, that is mostly R46 with an occasional R32/40M/42! And also don't forget that R46's as the R160A2 Option 1 order comes in to Jamaica, transfers more R46's to Pitkin.

Well, I don't know if I take it from that point of view. The R-42's replaced the standards, The standards were outcast to the Canarsie Line in their final years.I would think the R-42's might of gone that way if it was not for the R-143.I think the R-42's are lucky to get the grand tour!

Seeing a car type running on a line that it ordinarily does not fascinates me as well. I'd love to see an R142/a on the 1 or the 3, a 62 on the 2 or a 160 on the G, just to give a few examples.

Error's dislike of R46s is a matter of individual taste, and I don't question it. Loss of the blue stripe lowered the appeal of the R46 to me, although I don't hate 'em. OTOH, the 44s on the A really DO look like s*** to me- I won't miss them at all when their time comes.

'Tin cans'? Come on, the R44/46/68 cars are far more comfortable with their transverse seating. The bench-style cars are a step down in comfort.

He's referring to HOW the R42's were assigned when new. They were divided between Concourse, Coney Island, ENY and Jamaica to assure as many people as possible had a chance to enjoy the air conditioning. I'm sure there was some grumbling that all 200 A/C equipped R40's were sent to Jamaica only.

Maybe someone whined about no A/C on the Frankie. Wonder how the C/R operated (1/3 or 3/1?) Probably the latter, no reason for the C/R and T/O to be in the same car, although that probably happened back when the SS ran a pair of 32s with a single R-11. I don't understand why (and if it's be mentioned here, I missed it) why St. Louis car didn't put C/R controls in the operating ends of the R-40s and R-42s.

They were even intermixed with other cars so that as many trains as possible would have air conditioned cars. Call it the Borgaschmord Train era.

One of the test trains for the G/V/R testing. [I think someone also said an R62 ran as well.] To simulate what service would be like if all 3 ran at the same time. It was concidered a failure and that's why the V and G trains runs separately.
