For whoever is in denial, R143s DO run on the M line shuttle on the weekends. I added a photo that I took last year at Myrtle Avenue for proof of this.

[edit] R143's on the M
Thank you Motor Coach Industries for providing proof that the R143's run on the M. To Mets15: There is photographic and physical proof that the R143's run on the M, and if that's not enough for you, ride the M on weekends, because it's all R143 (specifically 4-car trains) on the M shuttle. If you continue to disagree, please do not edit, post here, and we can discuss. Thank you. There is no reason to remove factual information.
Sorry, I did not know that, I thought it was all R40M/42, I knew they ran on the L but not the M & the photo was just posted today so no need to get all serious, just take it easy.
- If you want to add this stuff to the article, please just cite a source. alphaChimp laudare 02:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Total size of fleet?
It would be great to have some summary information up top, like the (approximate) total number of cars still in service now, or operating on a rush-hour morning. I'm sure somebody else here knows those statistics much better than me or I would just do it. --Dylan Thurston 13:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. Do you have a reliable source? The MTA does not publish that kind of information on their website, and I think a lot of the rolling stock articles have had heavy contributions from people with "inside" information. Marc Shepherd 14:47, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New York City Subway merge into here
The information in Rolling stock section of New York City Subway seems more fitting in this article since it is pretty specific about different eras of train design. I am planning on merging the Trains and Rolling stock sections in NYCS and I may delete some of the info there. Does anyone oppose to me making a copy of that section into this article?

[edit] Keep or remove the Subway Centennial pictures?
Both pictures remain here for now, but I have also posted the subject here, as I have posted two works of my own that, while not from the centennial anniversary, are of the same trains running (or slight variants, but similar composition). This has also been posted on the WikiProject discussion page.--AEMoreira042281 (talk) 13:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
