have any r40 slants or r42 have been scrapped yet

with all these r 160 coming in i was wondering have any of the old cars been srapped because the yards have to be overflowing with subway cars

Yeah about 30 Cars of R 40 Slaint and mostly call R 42 CI Rebuilds have been scrapped. The also began scrapping some R 38's which will be replaced by the R 42 MK Rebuilds. The R 160's are in service on the N/Z Lines full force.

Everything that was expected to happen is happening. R160Bs have gone to the N to get rid of the R40s and CI R42s. The R160Bs will soon appear on the Q line as well. This is going to send the R68s and R68As to the part time lines (B/W) for the time being. Meanwhile, 2-3 R160A-1s have replaced R42s on the L line. R160A-1s are now on the Z line in somewhat large numbers, and will soon appear on the J/M lines. This will kick the R42s to the A/C lines to replace the R38s and increase service.
