They'd still be on the Main, Bergen, Pascack, Port Jervis, Montclair/Boonton and Morristown.

A C5 question:

Did MNRR also purchase C5's or did NJT give them some with MTA's letterings on them as part of a contract or such? So, does the rehab include MNRR C5's as well?

At about 2 million per cab car and 1.6 million per coach NJT was not in mood to give anything. MNCR bought their own 65 Comet V's for the NJT pool service. and yes if any car gets modified so to all others including the MNCR fleet.

according to the foreman in the S/I building at the club 1701 and 1730 are beyond repaired and will be used for any and all parts that can be used

Are one of these the car that had the wheel fall off in Suffern? Or has the car been sold or is back in service? (And which car # was that?)
