I am looking for information on cars the MTA is offering for reefing (Artificial Reefs). Is there a site that has construction specifications? I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

there are a total of 1600 cars available for reefing. NJ has been offered 600. Answer fron NJDEP still pending. I was hoping someone here would know what models and any source of construction information as to asbestos ect.

In this order:
200 R-38
400 R-42
400 R-40
300 R-44 (all from the subway)
Unclear whether R-32 or R-46 will go next

The next stop is Washington. Change for Forest Hills Trains on the Winter St. Platform, and Everett Trains on the Summer St. Platform. This is an Ashmont train, change for Braintree at Columbia.

Latest Update:
A bean counter at the MTA has determined that cars must be retired on a basis of age (depreciation), not soundness or reliability. Thus the 600 R-32s move to the front of the list. (Of course what happens in actuality is anybody's guess)
