  • In March of 2018, the remaining R62As at Corona Yard were pulled out of service to allow for the final stages of CBTC activation to take place. As of September, all 5-car units seen in this video have been transferred to Westchester Yard for (6) service and only a handful of singles remain at Corona for work service. This marked the first time in sixteen years that R62As were not used for (7) line service.

    The 7 Honestly Deserve The R62as But, since CBTC is Currently activated, I can understand that the r62as cant go on the 7 line because of that. But its just sad to see the r62as leaving on the 7 line except for 4 or 5 cars as work train.

The Whole entire Lexington Avenue is getting the brand new R262/as for CBTCS and the shuttle is definitely getting the brand new R262as . Most people miss the R142as on the Pelham 6 line.

      I liked them. The had the nice looking suspenders, rollsigns and the green circle (red diamond too). R62 is nice on the 3 line. I like the r62 best I think since the interior is nice and a warmer soft white color.
      Sometimes it could be in railfan window configuration as well. But I don’t remember that on the 3 line.

    I'm curious, when the r62s are replaced by the r262s, what will happen to some of them. Their old redbird work cars are starting to show their age, and the r62s are just a newer and more modern r33s redbird, and the r127/134 garbage train motors ,and r65 pump cars are based on the r62 design. Might see a lot of r62s remain in service on maintenance duty

      Gelaisa Williams They won’t go back to the 7 train. The line will be dominated by R188s, which IS compatible with the new CBTC system in place, which will allow for the MTA to increase train service on the 7 line (and the line will get 14 trains added to the schedule).

      The MTA may send them back if CBTC is deactivated but I mean it just impossible. Their may be a way to send R62A on the 7 line for any cause such as damaged R188 or I don't know but I mean no Ideas yet for how to put R62A on the 7 line but for now it just an imagination.
