I know that the R-32 cars run on the A/C/E line, but can anybody enlighten me as to what other cars normally run on these lines? thanks!

along those same lines, does anybody know which cars make up the 4 /5 /6 lines? i would imagine R-60s and R-160s?

There aren't any R60 cars. The R62 and R62A cars are on the 1, 3 and 7 and 42 St Shuttle lines.
The R160 are for the lettered lines not the numbered lines.

still learning about the particulars of the subway cars. it's my understanding that on the R44 cars there are midtrain cars and end cab cars. on the R32, R142, and R160 - are there end cab cars, A B married sets, or is each car the same? if so, what (if any) variance is there in appearance between those cars and the midtrain cars?
