R142As Running in 6 Line Service (2007-2013)

Before 2015, 6 line service was almost exclusively provided by R142A-type cars. Here is a large collection of video footage showing these cars running in 6 line service. Enjoy!

R142A 6 Trains are legends and are forever the best memories which will never be forgotten but alive in spirit (R142A 6 will always be in our hearts)

[@leecornwell1062]

The R142as will be back on the Pelham line real soon when the brand new R262s comes for Cbtcs however every time when I ride the R62as on the Pelham line I think about the Redbirds and the R142s from the Jerome line 4 line and the main R142as from the Pelham line

[@HalfADT]

Ah so that’s why I wondered I never heard the “STAND CLEAR THE CLOSING DOORS PLS” line anymore from the 6 when I was a kid, the train got replaced

[@CR1Creative]

Fun Fact: R62A's on the 7 and R142A's on the 6 were supposed to temporary swaps and R62A's were originally gonna go back to the Pelham line shortly after the redbirds retire because R142A's were supposed to be converted into R188's shortly after redbirds Retire but the R188's conversion for CBTC was pushed back to 2009 and was pushed back again to 2013

[@nyctransitrailfan]

The nostalgia when I used to ride the 6 train in 2010, they were full of R142A's on that line.

[@leecornwell1062]

And now the 6 trains are filled with the R62as however the 4/5/6/S trains are definitely gonna have brand new R262s and CBTCS one day they will eventually get there just like the 7/L/E/F/R lines Those lines now have CBTCS HOOKED up

[@jeremynaraine]

I miss riding the r142a on the 6.

[@leecornwell1062]

I miss riding the R142as 6 trains to its not the same without the R142as on the Pelham line don't get me wrong i do respect the R62as back on the Pelham line which is 100% true and the Flushing line having CBTCS we all like the mix epipments on the Pelham line R142as and R62as on the Pelham line bring the fun back we know that the mosholu Jerome avenue 4 line do not have no CBTCS HOOKED up nowhere in the Bronx or Brooklyn

[@angelogutierrez3261]

Those were the good old days who knows meaby there come back bigger and better than ever

[@malikrthr1]

I remember seeing these sets in the early to mid 2000's. The R62A's were also on the 6 line shortly before R142A's arrived in the late 90's to the very early 2000's, and then transferred to the 7 line. R62A's returned back to the 6 line as early as 2013 when the swap began to convert R142A's to R188's for CBTC. It was cool seeing these run on the express track between Hunts Point Avenue and Parkchester-East 177th street at 45-50mph during the peak rush hours.

[@starlynreyes4183]

The R142A 6 train was the first line and train type since birth I wasn't a huge fan on them but looking at it this was my line and train childhood and I respect R142A on the 6 and I do miss them and please stop hating on the R62A these trains are fantastic and is doing well on the 6 its just the biases that people have with it I'm usually not biased and I think these two train types are both great on the Pelham Line

[@VinceHere98]

I miss seeing the R142A’s running on the 6. It’s just not the same with the R62A’s taking their place on the line. I hope one day when the R262’s are delivered, the R142A’s on the 4 can be fully transferred to the 6 so it can be in its full glory again. In my opinion, the 4 should run with R142’s and R262’s, and maybe share some with the 3 (which is most likely destined to use R262’s anyway, along with the 1) during rush hours. I know it won’t be until a couple years in the future (sometime between 2025-2030 to be exact) when the R262’s are delivered, but still…

[@KingofGamingAndTrains456]

Why did the remaining R142As on the 6 line have to go to the 4 line. The MTA should have just kept those remaining R142As on the 6 line and moved Jerome’s R142As there as well so that the 6 could be a mix of R142A and R62A trains and the rest of the 7 line’s R62As would have gone to the 4 train. At least there’s a possibility of them coming back when the R262 trains arrive, knowing that the express lines (2, 3, 4 and 5 lines) might need them more. Just because the 1, 3 and 6 lines have the R62 and R62A trains doesn’t mean the R262s would solely be for those lines- it’s just like the N/Q/W lines and the R211 trains. But we’ll just have to see what the MTA does when the time comes. The MTA might make the 6 line a mix of R142As and R262s, who knows?

[@jaydengreenberg9618]

@Anthony Z nah that would be bad for the 4 train, they did that with the NQW and R trains by swapping the r46s and r160s which ruins the NQW lines but benefited the R line which sucked, but this time both the 4 and 6 aren't much better and in need so it wouldn't do them much help. Maybe they could give the 6 train back it's r142as in return for the r62s, but I think it's best to wait for the r262s

So that’s why the 7 doesn’t have the r62’s anymore

[@leecornwell5632]

That's the reason why they have the R62AS back on the Pelham 6 line because of CBTCS is definitely gonna happen on the 7 Flushing line.

[@leecornwell5632]

You know the R62AS was supposed to be on the 4 Jerome Ave 4 and the R142/As from the 4 Jerome Ave 4 was supposed be stayed on the Pelham 6 line.

[@shawngibson3310]

Honestly I miss them being on the 6 and at first I hated when they took away a majority of the R142As fleets off the line to give to the 7 line and the mta decided to take the remaining sets and give it to the 4 train. At first I hated the R62As sets being on the 6 train now, but let’s be real: them cars been very well maintained at the Westchester Yard honestly. Them r142A sets on the 4 train look horrible and dirty as hell on the outside.

[@LIRRSBSPRODUCTION]

This is why Westchester yard should of kept the R142As that they had left over, in 2018 on the last few days 7600-7610 was on the (6) that set was clean. Now it looks so dirty on the (4).

[@shawngibson3310]

@@LIRRSBSPRODUCTION even til now the mta still ain’t addressing how dirty them cars are on the 4. They really need to put more emphasis on cleanliness

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@LIRRSBSPRODUCTION That would’ve done nothing to address service increases on other lines, specifically the 2 and 5 routes lines.

Dont kill me but R62As dont belong on the 6, they should be on the 4 or 5 instead

[@tropicalsimonthirty2283]

Well I agree with you...

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@Elijah broomes Nope they belong to the 6, though one R142A can run on the 6 line if it carried no riders. Also, the 2 and 5 do not need R62As, except for any weekend changes, as the two routes share the Flatbush Avenue station during weekdays. As such, NTT trains will need to be on the 2 and 5 to allow for the signs to be switched rapidly at the often congested terminal. However, there could be R62 or R62As on the 2 if the 5 line simply stopped serving the Nostrand Avenue line altogether. Rather, 5 train service would be rerouted via Eastern Pkwy Express to Utica Avenue. This would ensure the 2 route would be the sole service to Flatbush Avenue. However, this may not result in R62As on the 2, but rather an extra 20 or so R142s to the 2 to accommodate increased service to Flatbush Avenue (15 trains per hour instead of 9-10 per hour as is today). There’s also a possibility that some R142 cars could go to the 6 line when the R262s arrive. Car 7021 already has the R62A-esque LED indicators for local and express service.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@Elijah broomes They have done that a number of times, such as when the 2 train was shortened to 96th Street due to construction on the Lenox Avenue Line. Believe it or not, DJ Hammers also has videos of that.

[@Bobby_9538]

The r262’s should only Run on the 1 3 and 6 while the 2 4 and 5 lines keeps r142’s and r142a’s and the shuttle should get 5 sets of r142’s and 5 Sets of r142a’s from the 4 line while the 4 line gets only 10 sets of r262’s and keeps the rest of the r142’s and r142a’s

[@BrayanBarrera-is9zt]

I don’t know after the r62a will retire maybe they will get r262s or maybe order new r142as or permanently use them from 4 to 6
