R127?

[freightcar2]

I noticed Jeffmorris created a subway work car known as the R127. (KUID: 44558:127:2) Is there such thing? Because I haven't seen any pics of it. If there are some post 'em here! Thanks!

While some subway cars were converted to work cars after they were retired from passenger service such as R33WF single cars, NYCTA bought brand new R127 work cars that have the same bodies as the R62 subway cars missing side windows and side doors near the ends. I found photos at http://www.nycsubway.org/cars/r127.html

They are real, I have been on them. They have no A/C so they het vot and the doors are hand operated.

I envy the people who get to ride on them. Their interiors look real comfortable.
