⁴ᴷ R62 (4) Train Action

I'm aware this video is super late, so late that I don't even remember what caused this lol. Anyways, sometime in May of 2018, a set of R62s ran on the (4) Line for a weekend. Enjoy.
Some clips taken by Dj Hammers and used with permission.

Car 1438 was one of the cars and the only car that survive the union square wreck

9:58 3 train sign by mistake. Should be the R62 4 train mentioned

[@BXpitbull24]

The real 4 train

[@some.transit_buff4518]

This was due to the Clark St tunnel closure, where 3 trains were suspended in BK, so the 4 was extended to New Lots, and used cars from the 3

[@flutershyfluters4633]

R62s are great and some rail fans miss them on the 4 line thank you for making this video especially thos rail fans that have watched a documentary of the union square wreck of 1991 and it's sad 5 people died on that accident

[@youwu__]

It was
6 trains ran:
Lexington Ave Local
Pelham Bay Park (or Parkchester)
Bronx
125St-Lexington Av
Manhattan
And that 4 trains ran
Lexington Av LOCAL (to 125St only, then exp)
Eastern Pkwy local
Woodlawn- Jerome Ave
Bronx
New Lots Ave
Brooklyn
plus 3 trains were not running past 14St so this set was temporarily freed up for use on the 1 and 4 lines but since New Lots service was mandatory they gave it to the 4.

[@Bklynkid52]

The reason why the R62s ran on the 4 for that weekend was because they needed extra service. That same weekend, 6 trains were not running between 125th street and Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. 4 and 5 trains made local stops in both directions in Manhattan to cover for service. It was the weekend of May 4th to May 6th.

It's the 1990s except it's 2018 lol

[@davidng2336]

This took place on May 5, 2018. This is because of planned construction on the 6 that suspended service south of 125th St and caused the 4 to run local in Manhattan.

And the R62 or the R62A feature from the Movie Madagascar

[@tyronewilliams2306]

[@mikeblock2062]

Nice footage. Great resolution. I'm From Brooklyn.

[@jred9864]

I wished they trade R62As on the 4 so the people complaining on the 6 can get the R142As

[@zaki.aka.bostic99]

I remember riding the r62 4 train

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

I know why this happened it’s because the Clark Street tunnel was being fixed,the 4 train was borrowing r62 from the 3 train,the Clark Street tunnel is open at all times.

[@JonathanChan212]

Does anybody noticed some trains' sign wasn't wroten the "4"? Like the first train there are some "3"s.

[@justinmahardani1104]

Did you guys see the tracks what happened? 2:49

[@beverlyannpolito869]
