I don't doubt that, but what happened to the surplus cars from when they combined the M and V? Between the shorter trainsets needed, as well as all the extra M trains that were used between Essex and Bay Parkway, there were left over trains from that combination. The V line trains are still used between Forest Hills and Essex, and all those trainsets, when converted from 75 foot cars to 60 foot cars, have the equivelent of two 60 foot cars left from every V train that ran between Forest Hills and 2nd Ave (now Essex St). Then, all the M trains that ran between Essex and Bay Parkway were surplus too. |
