R42 in service today, Sat August 24th

The J is shortened due to a G.O between Parsons and Broadway Junction so it should be easier to find.

There was 2 sets in service both yesterday and today, nice. Its funny as I seen an public MTA document saying they will limit their use do to having the lowest MDBF in the fleet yet two sets are running this weekend lol. Not complaining, hope they run outside of rush hour more often and they stick around until the 211s come.

When they're finally gone, will the TA straighten out and simplify the conductor's position nightmare on that line? If I'm not mistaken, even the R32s use the 5-3 configuration when they don't have to.

I don't understand why any R42's are still around. They are not exactly making heavy use of the R32's on the A & C. If they really want 2 or 3 SMEE sets at ENY, and with all the R179's delivered, seems to be they could do without 50 cars out of the 272, and send of couple of R32's sets back to ENY.

Without any proof on my part, I have a feeling there are a bunch of R32's with constant a/c failures sitting in 207YD for the summer out of service.

Running them on the J solved that.
