Maybe in that 5 car set, there was some sort of wiring or switch problem that affected those cars?Maybe their wired like old Christmas tree lights as in you lose one (car), you lose 'em all??:) |

Who also remembers that 10-car single set along the (1) in recent yesteryears with 1915-1926 in one set mixed up? (Still had full cabs on the end) Anything above 2155 that is running on the (6) now / today was originally from the (1). That 2221-2225 set has seen service on every single IRT line out there today. The few times it ran on the (2), (3) and (4) were for G.O.s in recent years and chances are it ran the (5) in service on a weekend in the 1990s. It did briefly see the 7 in 2013-2014 when the R62A fleet was undergoing SMS and Corona borrowed a set from 240th; the opposite happening when 240th needed a set and that fun, short lived time in 2013 there was a RFW set on the (1). |

Correction: 1917-1926 was the Broadway single set. 1915-1916 I distinctly remember having purple stickers with 1917-1926 red stickers.Also, 1900-19xx must have originally been assigned to Westchester as 1909 was involved in an accident at Hunts Point Ave and consequently scrapped. The remaining cars without LEDs likely will never recieve them despite a few random sets without them along the (6). It wouldn't be surprising if the cars assigned to the 42 Shuttle with LEDs stay there despite them being absolutely useless, unless someone wants to imagine a 42 Street Shuttle Local and Express. |
