Remnants on the MTA web site, too.

Some trains are shorter (have fewer cars) when its not rush hour because there are fewer passengers using the subway. Some short trains operate without a conductor. On those trains, the train operator opens and closes the doors, makes station announcements, and assists customers, if needed. Consider waiting at the center of the platform at these times. At most stations, there are signs that read: During Off-Hours, Trains Stop Here. If you stand near the center of the platform near the sign, you wont have to rush when the train arrives.

IIRC, they installed those signs in the mid-nineties but the practice didn't last very long. I remember the 6 train having 5 car trains during late hours.
