Summary[edit]

Description

New York Transit Museum Director Concetta Bencivenga speaks as MTA New York City Transit retired the last remaining R-42 subway cars from service today, ending a 51-year run. The cars have been used on two dozen lines, each traveling more than seven million miles. The final run followed a send off ceremony at the Transit Museum, and was scheduled to proceed through a final trip on the A line from Euclid Av to Far Rockaway to 207 St, before returning to Euclid Av to close its doors for the last time.
