(2)(5) Years Of Service
A little bit late but yesterday marked 25 years since the R142/As made their debut on the rails. On July 10, 2000 both the R142s and R142As would make their first run on the rails. The R142s made its first appearance on the (2) and the R142As would make its first appearance on the (6). Hard to believe that these cars are 2 decades and a half old now. They’re a year older than me and most of us born in 2001 lol.
Anyway, here in this photo is a Flatbush Ave bound R142 (2) train heading into the portal to make a stop at 3 Ave-149 St and next to it is an Eastchester-Dyre Ave bound R142 (5) train raising onto the elevated structure and heading towards Jackson Ave as the next stop. Small fact here, but the Hub used to be my neighborhood in the Bronx from the early 00s(2003) to the late 00s(2008) so I’ve ridden these cars a lot as a little kid you can say lol.
