As my train headed east to Woodside at 1:15 PM, a 4-car set of M-9s was on Track 1 apparently stopped. Only caught 1 number 9005.
As we continued to Forest Hills (1:20 PM), a 2-car set of M-9s was heading west towards the others. Was it a rescue?

It's simple effective, and uniform in an otherwise complex rail network. Adding in extra single cars here and there would only complicate what is now a very predictable train configuration.
