It's a question mark for me as of now. My decision to go would be a last second decision that would be made on the morning of the event.

The M60 is all right by Astoria Blvd as several people get off there. I suggest being like the 1st few people on the line and if posable, let the 1st M60 go as it's somewhat common for a 2nd M60 would be at least less then 5 minutes behind the 1st one

if there's ad revenue, then why not? better this than pay higher fares.

Thanks for both answers. I'll be close enough to Union Square that I might just go Broadway line to 34th for transfer to F, even with the luggage.

OK, so this is the SHUTTLE... But... Coulda #$#@% sworn I'd seen 2430-2429-2428-2427-2426 on the 1 today carrying a similar stripe wrap like this... UGH!! Let's keep that to the SHUTTLE, pleeze.

This is quite an interesting find! From the day the video was posted, it happen right last month. This appears to be a overnight lay up during the week as that weekend it was posted, it was not there when I came home from Philly after deboarding a R46 on the F @ Union Turnpike on the night of September 13(saturday). The video was posted the next day, September 14. As it looks like right now, the R42's on the R are pretty rare, however I expect it to change pretty soon as more and more R32's are out the door.

But I wouldn't call Main Street in Darby a rare move. Trolleys cross those CSX tracks dozens of times a day! And if there happens to be a flaw in one of the flanges, what a spot for a derailment.....especially with a freight train coming. I don't recommend construction like that.
