Can you tell me please, how to position myself on a platform, if I want to catch car number 1575 or 484?

If they don't shuffle the cars from last Sunday the consist should be:

2016 n. 381,401,100,1575,484,1300,1000,1802 s

That puts your two cars of interest in the middle. Therefore I'd highly recommend standing at the north end of the station. Seriously, why the need for precision planning?

What are you trying to do, mongrolize the R1/9's? It's bad enough they let 1575 coupulate with the original R9's?

Lower capacity because they only have 3 standards and 1 set of D Types available. The doors don't MU so you need 2 c/r's, and since the D Type is added to a standard the c/r can't stand on the steps to see the platform. He reaches for the door handle with a monitor inside the car telling him it's clear to close down.

Finally they do not want the R1/9's to interfere with regular service so they have to keep it moving.

It sounds as if one end of 6112 can m. u. with the BMT standards (except the door controls) and the other end can m. u. with the IND old timers. Which begs the question: can 6112 still operate with 6095?

I believe the change that was made to enable coupling to the Ds involved changing the slide on the AB to a standard electric portion and not changing the D type.

Makes sense. Was there any change made to either set of electric portion pins on 6112, trainline circuit-wise?

Not sure, but there definitely are no do control pins in the electric portion of the Ds since the Ds like the Multis used jumpers to pass the door circuits.
