I can't find any info on this.Go to www.grandcentralterminal.com and look up the Centenial events. The only difference is that the web-site says it will be on track 4 whereas we know now that the special train will be on track 1. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

If you have a Facebook, look on the NYTM page. They put up a video of three cars leaving today, 9306/6239/5781(?), and the R721 (?) coming back in. They specifically stated that "these cars are going to be running on the shuttle." |

It's odd that the Money Cars would be split. I thought they would always be displayed together. Guess not.... With 9010-11 in the Museum, 9016-17 and 9206-07 MUST be going down to track 1 with the three cars. |

I don't think that parking a train on one of those spur tracks is a good idea. Someone might decide to tag it. More than likely it will be put in one of the yards to await a return to normal service. |

Train is currently on track one, position just west of Grand Central Station. Car 5760 is at the Grand Central end of the consist. Presumably, 9306 is at the Times Square end.You can kind of see 5760 in this photo taken a few minutes ago.

Feh ... move over to B division and TRY to bring ten cars into Met. Dunno if they've moved the switches since the 70's, but it could ONLY be done with twenty beakies and lots of furious hand signals. More supervision than a train wreck and STILL you had to push the bumper over an inch or two to clear the points. :) |

The R-17 6609 got the short straw, since it was not seen being taken out of the Transit Museum, nor was it in the Youtube videos that I just saw.As far as the red lights in the headlight area, in an effort to 'hide' the train in the tunnel, they turned those off, in addition to everything else. This way, it would not be as noticeable. This also made sense to move the train there Friday night, with the G.O. taking place along the Lexington Avenue Line. |
