Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Tue Nov 4 06:26:40 2025 Tuscarora Almanac for November 4 1996 – from The Book of Wrecks There was a fire and explosion on R-110B car 3006 while in service on the "A" train. The second of the three cars sets 3004-3005-3006 was permanently taken out of service. Car 3005 was moved to Public School 248 in Brooklyn where she is used as the learning center. Cars 3004 and 3006 became part of the Fire School at Coney Island Yard. The two remaining sets run as a six car train on the "C" line. Mr. William Padron was on this trip. Source: New York Division Bulletin /December 1996, January 1997, February1997 Stef wrote the following: Yeah, I was on that R-110B train that same day and run, and it was taken out of service at 181st Street because of a smoky condition coming from one of the cars. When it arrived at 175th Street running lite, that is where the incident happened, and it caused the side wall tiles by track side to receive some really severe yellow stains coming from the explosion. Car 3001 was removed from 207th St Yard as of 02/2014 - was at the NYPD training facility in College Point Queens. It would be removed from College Point after a short stay and scrapped. Car 3008 was removed from 207th St as of 08/2015 and sent to the Randalls Island FDNY Training Facility. 3001 - Scrapped, was at NYPD Facility in Queens 3002 - 207 3003 - 207 3004 - CI Fire School 3005 - PS248 3006 - CI Fire School 3007 - 207 3008 - FDNY 3009 - 207 Only four R110B's remain in upper Manhattan at the 207th Street Yard: 3002, 03, 07, and 09. (Does anyone have a current update for 2023?) 2016 – from The Book of Last Runs This is the final day of “Q” service to Astoria on weekdays. “Q” service will now run between 57th Street-7th Avenue and Coney Island at all times until the Second Avenue Subway opens. The last northbound “Q” had cars 8687-83 and 8778-82. Thanks to poster R-36 for the consist information. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
