Lower East Side - 2nd Ave Bound R40M/R42 E Train @ 5th Ave - 53rd Street

I want the R42's to be on the A, B, and E lines.

look at all that rust at the top of the train!

R 42s are super cool !it's a shame they have all been retired now :(

[mysteryman557]

50 still remain in service on the (J)/(Z) lines

[pelham1231000]

@mysteryman557 happy to know that ! hope they will remain in service for a long while !

[mysteryman557]

@pelham1231000 get on them as fast as you can, the incoming R160A-1's will be delivered soon. Even if the cars are not retired, they probably wont run on the (J)/(Z) anymore

@pelham1231000

It's sad, but there are 14 that are pending reactivation. I bet some wished the R44 problems began sooner like in early 2008.

The R42s are cool despite the fact they sound and look like they are 56 years old.

[R68love11]

@kmothersil I agree.

[elizarocks000]

I went on the NYC subway for the first time today, I went on the E train. I was transferring from the 6 train to the E/V train at 51st street and the elevator smelled like someone took a long piss in it

[thesubwaynut]
