Last Friday, 11.14.2014, I found car 1934 leading a train to Flushing and took the photos below through the RFW.

Does that Interborough signal date from the 1920's?

7391? I still see mid- to high-7300 cars running on the 6!

I think you mean 7291, which I've seen running on the 7.

7291 or 7391? I could have misread my scribble when posting. I probably wrote down the car number as we were moving. Thanks for the correction.

Hunterspoint is south of the 7 tracks. I think what you see there is the Arch St. Shop.

There can't be all that many R-62A singles left - probably enough to make 11-car trains and not much more. I saw 1971 thru 1975 linked together last month. Are 1956-1960 linked?

Thanks to WADO MP73 for correcting my confusion of Arch Street with Hunterpoint Avenue station.

432 Park Avenue REALLY looks awkward in the Midtown Manhattan skyline.

Excellent pics btw.

AMEN. Unfortunately, many don't like to be corrected.

Nice pics! And nice to know there's still RFWs around. Maybe I can catch one before they all vanish.

I haven't seen 1956 on the shuttle in some time. 1950 and 1955 are there, though.

IINM the single R-62A usually runs in the middle of the train, sandwiched in between two five-car sets.

Then how would a passenger be able to access the C/R in the event of an emergency?
