The 6 is getting nailed with R-62As!!! As of the July 2014 ERA newsletter, it has been noted there are at least now 100 R-62As on the 6.

And I managed to snag a few of 'em.....

I knew that the 62's were seeing more action on the 6, as I have caught some headed downtown on weekends lately. (Which inspired me to head to the Bronx last week.) Can't get enough of the old school equipment, and your pictures in the late day light are fantastic! Well done buddy!

Great pics, but alas this is the end of the RFW on the IRT. :(

On Monday, there were no RFWs on the 7 during rush hour.

Whenever it is finally determined that the said home base yard is where that equipment will, more or less, permanently be based. The amount of time that takes, with the shifts of equipment as of late, I could never tell you that. It seems on a monthly basis equipment goes from line to line, yard to yard.

I normally don't use the words Waterbury and excellent in the same sentence, but here goes. Your picture of your train at Waterbury is excellent!

Going through the "archives", I found a couple of scans taken several years ago at Waterbury with matched sets of equipment. Hoping to see some again in the near future.

Much as I love to see the FL-9s and F-10s in service, that just ain't happening ever again (sadly).

Now seeing a Gennie haul a Mini Bomb, if some BL20GHs go belly up, like we have had had not all that long ago, you'll see Gennies haul Minis again.

Just looking for a train where the entire set looks like it belongs together. Most bomb sets I see are mismatched reds and blues. I shouldn't complain though, as long as it gets to its' destination - right!

In a perfect world, the MTA/CDOT plan was for NY State equiptment (blue side stripe) & CDOT equiptment (red side stripe) to be in dedicated train sets. Also, the Center door shoreliner cars & the first generation Bomb cars (end doors only) were also to be dedicated train sets.

Rarely, it worked out that way. But so be it. The customer wants a reliable train with working a/c or heat & a non nauseating bathroom that gets me to work...& back home.

They could care less about the side coloring.
