R62A Cars 2177-2180 Back in Service on the 1 with Former Single Car 1934

Here are several videos taken on March 29, 2024, featuring the MTA NYC Subway - in particular, the 1 train! On or not too long before this day, four Bombardier Transportation R62A cars (2177 through 2180) returned to service on the 1 after being out of service following a derailment in January 2024. The fifth car in this set, car 2176, was unfortunately written off, so a different single car (1934) was utilized to replace the damaged car. This was a very resourceful move by NYCT!

Those WH motors sound fresh, the entire 5-car set appears to have received some new parts.

I think this now leaves somewhere between 815 and 820 cars still active now.

I was on the subway and I didn’t know about it. 🙁

[@shahalammiah8985]

Is there any updates about sets 2411 - 2415

[@greghuang2314]

What happened to car 2176? Was it one of the cars involved in the derailment at 96th Street in January?

[@mtattrain2]

Yes it was. It looked stripped so I guess they determined it wasn’t savable

[@danieltransit7677]

Are these trains that were that got in the accident in the 96 st station ?

[@mtattrain2]

Yes

[@BigManTransitEnthusiast]

They are using a former shuttle car in place of 2176?

[@brayand8022]

Huh, I thought they got the single from Westchester, not Livonia

[@mtattrain2]

It may have been from the 7/6. I remember the car having the LED circle/diamond lights. Good on them for removing the lights before service though

[@BigManTransitEnthusiast]

@@mtattrain2it also had no seats for a while when it was on the Shuttle. Now it looks refurbished with the old paint job as it was when it came into service in the 80s

[@shahalammiah8985]

Is there any news about 2411 - 2415 ?

1934? I don't think it was ever on the 42 St Shuttle. If you mean 1943 or 1949, that's on the Shuttle from the 6/7 without seats.
