The Phase I R32s are starting to come to the Jamaica from the pikin yard and the R42MK's are going to pikin from ENY and the Phase II R32s are going to 207th st for reefing.
The phase I cars from pikin are: 3356/57, 3360/61,3370/71, 3376/77, 3380/81, 3394/95,but I do not know what number R42MK are going to be at pikin.

R32_3671 on sub chat Put R68/A's on the (A) and (E) Now!!!! Put The R32's On The (B)!!!!
The C already runs R38s, though... and if it is apparently going to be phased out by the end of this year, exactly what will the C be using then, if not the R40/42?

MK R42s are going from ENY Yard to Pitkin Yard at the rate of 12 a week, so they will go on the A line. There will be no R42 on the C because of the conductor's board position. The displaced R32s are Phase I and will go to Jamaica to replace the Phase IIs.
The R38 aren't affected in this for now, so those R38 will go to the C, which doesn't need many trainsets. As to what will happen when the R38 are retired, we'll just have to wait and see.

It's hard to understand what you are trying to say, but yes if the C were to run R42's it would have to make the C 10-car trains or if it stays at 8-car trains, then they would have to move the car stop marker to the front of the platform where the A train is.
