Hopefully they'll be undocked from Stall 27 and be used for test runs very soon like in a few weeks.
there has been rumors about them running on both the sea beach line and on the brighton line on certain dates. Hopefully we can get a chance to see them running ^_^
im quite sad that the R32s, R38s, R40S/M, and R42s are going. No more Screeching brakes =( I kinda grew up with them since i was like 3 yrs old riding to manhattan every weekend or so. Seeing how everything has advanced now makes things really tough. But Some R42s might stay in service i hope! Seeing R160s entering and leaving the station is like a repeat over and over again.
Sad to see the Old trains go =(
Things wont be the same afterwards =' (

The only place you can assume is Coney Island...
Anyways, that's pretty cool.

I hope so, so that I can get a ride on them, and I'll still be able to see through the front despite the fuzzy window. The older cars will still be around a bit too.
