Wrong.Before the R160's were born, every Friday night 3-8 car trains of R143's at lay up time were transfered to Met for weekend OPTO service from Canarsie. 16 cars for service, 8 spares in case of a b/o train. They did not sit at FPYD all week doing nothing. Then after 2 AM Monday morning they were returned. They needed extra t/o's for the cuts/adds and transfers. And for a midweek holiday this had to be done all over again for 24 hours. |
