I hate to break this to you but that wasn't an R142 running their for a CBTC that was train being used in the remake of the 1974 film Taking of Pelham 1-2-3.

I've always liked that movie from when I was a little kid. Nice to hear that they are doing a remake but it's not gonna have the same feel to it as the original did. In my opinion, the older cars had more character in them. Just my 2 cents.

Well, the 7 IS getting R142As, not R142s, sometime or in a few months.

nop,the 7 line is getting the R188's since there usually always failures with the R142A's and R142's

No, the 6 is swapping with the 7. The R142 failed the test. The R142A passed. The R188 is a rumor.

it was disscussed by a T/O,and even more T/O's on the 7 line were talking about new cars on the 7 line
