Maybe, maybe not. The R-62's have all the signs for every IRT route.

If you're going to Photoshop that shot, put a purple '11' up there.

No. The R62A set was mostly likely being delivered to the 7 from the 3 line, as it was common in 2003.

You bet it is, but I wish it was a real photo, to at least accomodate some of the R32 and R38s to the open air lines (A, Rock Park S, and D plus F to name a few).

Besides the purple-11, my favorite line is the baby-blue 8... or the baby-blue 10! What makes you think these shots are photoshopped?

Is that Woodside where the 3 train is?

And the A train is photoshopped because the A doesn't run with any R68/A's, as shown in the image. (Looks like R68A on the image, depending on the first number of the car # but I could be wrong)

Yes, that "3 Train" is on the "7 Line" at Woodside. As the R142's were coming in, and the redbirds were being retired, there was a lot of suffling of equipment. I think the the 6 line's equipment was transferred to the West Side IRT, and the West side IRT's equipment was being tranfserred to the 7 line. That's why the "3" is on there.

As for the A photo on an R68, I believe that one is doctored. It's not because the "can't or don't" run them on the A line, it's because I think I vaguely remember seing that photo at SubTalk a while back, and the discussion was that it was doctored. I don't know the specifics anymore.

But the 3 Train at Woodside is real.

Actually, the 6's R62As went to the 7 and now serve as 5-car sets. The R62As from the 3 are singles and are used to make 11-car trains on the 7. The 1's R62As (2156-2475) did not change.

Actually these R44s pics are real. I have also seen those LCD signs when they park up at the 3rd track between 111st and lefferts blvd.

Majinvegeta is right.

Looking at the "A" closely, the letter looks, to me at least, to be out of perspective.

 #158943  by Majinvegeta
 
i see nothing wrong with the A. It looks the same to me
