subway sandite trains

Are there sandite trains on the subway to help with slip slide conditions during the falling leaf season? I was thinking they may be used on the A line where there are a lot of trees in queens and also the brooklyn lines that run in the cuts.

There is an adhesion car, R33 8885 based out of Unionport that is pushed or pulled by either R28s 7924-45 and R29s 8678-79 or one of the R36s.

That's for the Dyre line but I'd guess there's one based in Brooklyn for the Sea Beach and Brighton-Franklin lines also.

Yes. There are two R30s. They run on the Brighton/SeaBeach and Rockaway lines.
