In What Order Will They Be Scrapped

 

This is correct as of 10/6/09 AM. But we have  no guarantees about tomorrow or beyond:

1) R32 Sigma (10 cars) These are the ten R32 cars which were rebuilt by G.E. and resemble the R38's frame around the front end digital sign above the storm door. GONE

2) R-40 Slants ...GONE

3) R-40 Modified ...GONE

4) R-42 Coney Island ...GOING FAST

5) R-42 MK ...GOING FAST

6) R-38 ...GONE

7 & 8) R32 Phase I & Phase II (worst performing cars go first) ... MANY ARE GONE

9&10) No immediate plans to scrap any of the 75' car classes through 2011

 

Update: The R44 cars are off the road and in storage.
