R-44s

Posted by ren on Thu Feb 13 17:08:49 2020

How many remaining R44s are available that are saved from the scraps, including the ones in storage (either awaiting preserved or awaiting scrapping) and preserved? I recall 4 of them sitting in Coney Island Yard (5286-5289) and 1 other SIR car (don’t know what number), so I wonder how many are still left. What is the car number of the SIR R44 sitting in Coney Island Yard and what are the R44s doing in CI Yard for?

CI Barn is where all of SIR MUs go for SMS or any other work they can't do in Clifton Shops; they may have been spotted there for just that.

I'll leave for others to advise how many R-44 MUs (TA) are left.

There’s a small gang of them visible from the Belt Parkway more towards the west side of the yard near the continuous welded cars.

Isn't there a "hanger queen" R44 from Staten Island at Coney Island with electrical problems they never solved?
It's been a few years since someone brought that one up and I forgot the car number.
