⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ R142 Movie Train on the F Line!

Here, we see a set of R142s being used for the filming of a high-profile movie! For logistical reasons, a train of R142s was used.
R142s are "A" division equipment, which runs on the numbered lines and is physically narrower than the wider "B" division equipment that runs on the lettered lines. However, "A" division cars like the R142 are capable of running on "B" division trackage when appropriate arrangements are made. This is an exceptionally rare and unusual occurrence; R142s have not ventured to this part of the system in a very, very long time. Enjoy!

Damn, I bet no one was even at Coney Island Station to catch that. I used to dream of an R142 there ALL THE TIME

[@leecornwell5632]

Now you have the dream that the R142s will be running on the BMT and IND lines for a movie and New brakes to replace the old brakes.

[@jr.gaming2205]

Been doing that in OpenBve

[@jr.gaming2205]

Always had a intuition it would eventually happen

[@MylesRobinson-w8h]

Not in service R42 meets not in service R142??? History was made

[@Luhbru14]

That’s the r211

[@natesnews5105]

No that was r42 i live in nyc, r211 has slanted lights and blue front

almost got rage baited by the "r211" comment nice one

[@TrainLover-wt9ix]

Their battle will be legendary!

[@irt3rdavenueel172]

R42 meets its younger A division sister the R142 for the very first time. This is definitely history. Also the R142 met the R160. Next would the R142A and R188 meeting the R143 and the R179 to make history

[@amazing50000]

Before 1940, wooden elevated train cars the size of Division A (IRT) subway cars used to run on the Culver Line (F) from Coney Island to Park Row in Manhattan via the 5th Ave EL (Brooklyn) & The Brooklyn Bridge. So this is cool.

[@fiercingdragon]

2:16 of course there are some people who seriously thought a R142 is in passenger service on the F line...

[@douglasennis7291]

What movie 🍿🎥 3 in front 5 on rear 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jadenmuniz8817]

The R142 propulsion has a longer first shift than the R160

[@pure752]

I actually caught a r142 on the A on Friday so it may be the same movie

[@charleschi932]

IND Culver Line R142/R160 Alstom Sound the same

[@JaydenFernandez-sf5gr]

Pelham 123 again?

[@KeenanFoster]

Lol 😂

[@carlo15111]

Lol, that irked me when I rewatched it a few weeks ago. How did a Lexington train somehow get a straight path to Coney Island 😂

[@KeenanFoster]

@@carlo15111 lol true 😂 whoever made the film wasn’t from NYC lol 😂

[@JaydenFernandez-sf5gr]

@@carlo15111 they haul it from a truck and bring it to the yard

[@carlo15111]

@JaydenFernandez-sf5gr I figured that much, but in the context of that movie, it made no sense.

[@aszaviyovarga1711]

I wonder how that's possible because I saw it signed up as the 3 line.

[@davidng2336]

This is a coney-island, stillwell av3nu3 bound, 5 via the F line. The next and last stop is, Coney Island, stillwell Avenue.

Taking of pelham 123 (2024)

[@JavierVelez2007]

1:30 It said (3) on the front
2:10 It said (5) on the back
My guess is that they must’ve changed it from 3 to 5 but that front is super foam!
R142 on a B Division line is also (F)oam!

[@Godzilla-r1k]

WAIT… THATS THE 3 TRAIN AND THE BACK SAID THE 5 TRAIN? TRAIN GLITCH

[@sumairasantana3911]

OK nobodys talking about 5 via F.

The 5 Train On The F Line

[@nyctransitrailfan]

Why do movie producers not just use the regular line’s station to film 💀 don’t they understand about the A and B divisions on the subway system, they could’ve at least filmed this at an IRT platform, maybe on the flushing line, junction Blvd or Mets willets

[@JaydenFernandez-sf5gr]

it's not the movie producers who decide it MTA and there's a reason

[@Kingofk5la507]

R142 4 via F line😂

[@DennisLora2001]

I'm impressed with this one 🎉 1:00

[@ThaMastTransit_MSDWolf8420]

(F)oam!

[@THEGOODGUYISHERE-n99]

Welcome to r142 train via the F to Coney Island

[@natesnews5105]

I thought the 2 weren’t compatible

[@Sylveonkpopnyct]

A IND/BMT train can't fit an IRT Line, but an IRT train can fit a IND/BMT line.

[@whitetrashmillionare4858]

@@Sylveonkpopnyct I noticed the gap at the stations

[@scottyerkes1867]

Rare move for these cars.
