Newark - NAPARANO Scrapper

[many19]

Gentlemen,
I was flying into Newark airport Saturday morning and I noticed that at what used to be Naparano's which now I believe is named Sims Metal Management Northeast Inc there was a large number of silver subway like cars. Does anyone know who's these are or from where. At first glace I though they might be PATH's old Silver cars. but they were too shinny to be their.
Any clues.
Thank you

I wondered whatever happened to Naporano. So there is still a rail scrap facility there?

this is what is left of Naporano.

If you look at the link below you can actually see the silver cars I am speaking off.

They are former NYCTA R44 Subway Cars.
