I saw this on your YouTube channel last night!! Thanks.I'd assumed that the R42s were on their way to 207th for stripping and scrapping... |

For some reason, both the R-32s and 38s were capable of displaying numbers as well as letters. It could be the the T/O might have wanted to display an “S” which best to mean “special” and thought that the 5 was an S since with those flip dot signs, certain letters can be hard to differentiate. |

As Steve said, the Montague tunnel renovation took some of the space that straight sided equipment used to occupy, so the older cars scrape the walls. R46 and onward have no problem due to getting narrower at the top, and IRT division cars / MOW vehicles also have no problem due to being narrower in general.The R1-9 are also banned. |

I'd thought they were making room for the R179s...I have no inside source for this sort of thing, so that was my guess. If it wasn't accurate, so be it :) |

I thought in such a situation, they would put up a number on the R-32 display, so that no clueless geese would think it was a regular training just not stopping for some reason (since all B-Division routes have letters). But then again, there could always bee some dumbass going "I didn't know that the 5 ran here!".OTOH, we have seen R-30s on the 3, so... :) |

However, that wasn’t known at the time of construction and regardless it is still shoddy engineering. By the way, last night i saw the garbage pick up train gong N/B on the R lIne and it had 2 R-32s in the consist. I wonder how picking up along the Montague St Line stations would work in that case. |

I think there's a small army of R32s used for trash hauling. There's also the museum pair. The 222 (224?) are the ones designated for passenger service. |
