My old stomping grounds! I used to live closer to the 4 train stop. Man I miss my old block on Gerard Avenue.

[@mtanycftrain3812]

The (5) trains used to used R62’s

[@Bklynkid52]

Nice! It seemed as though 6 trains relayed to as far as Burnside Avenue.

[@leecornwell1062]

That was because the Pelham line had a flood between 138th Street 3rd Avenue and Hunt's point. There wasn't no 6 service . Between 138 and Hunt's point. That's the reason why we saw the R62as on the via 4 and 6 trains at Burnside Ave Lay up middle track.

[@Bklynkid52]

@@leecornwell1062 I know that, but normally when 6 trains end at 149 Street, they would just relay to just north of the same station.

[@leecornwell1062]

@@Bklynkid52 I'm glad of that to see a R62as lay up on the Jerome avenue 4 line . Every body was waiting for this to happen. However there is still goona be a lots of movements around I'm telling you. It's not over yet until GOD says it's over.

[@leecornwell1062]

I pray and hope that. This happens again some day. I know that they miss there R62s on the Jerome avenue 4 line. Now you have most of the R142s on the 4 line and 17 R142as on the Jerome avenue 4 line. The Pelham line has no R142as just straight up R62as.

[@leecornwell1062]

They definitely need to put those orange stickers on the R142/as permitted.

..uh, how does this subway thing work?? I mean does each separate car unit have some type of security dude in it.. in case things get nasty and a fight ensue? Or does one just push a button and the conductor hustles back there and breaks it up? Where I'm from we still ride horse and buggy. 🤷🏿

[@Bklynkid522]

There’s no security on the trains, closest thing being the NYPD riding for a few stops. On the R142s and R142As, there’s an emergency intercom that connects with the conductor if it’s needed. For the SMEE equipment (like the 6 train you saw), there is no intercom.

[@markbeljean2967]

the r142 sound just like the r160 0:50

[@ammy548]

i mean yea the have the same propulsion system..

[@Jay_TheCollection1143]

Not-In-Service R62 6 trains? Ok. Nice.

[@172NR]

Those were probably the R62 4 trains getting returned back to the 6 line

[@Jay_TheCollection1143]

@@172NR no it wasn’t.

[@DynamiteIRT]

@@Jay_TheCollection1143 dude, read the description.

[@gxmball_7044]

It’s doing that due to loss of Westchester Yard access, I’m going to assume it’s going to Jerome

[@Bklynkid522]

They were being relayed to/from 149 Street-Grand Concourse.
