Typo[edit]

Page prominantly says Cards where cars should be stated.

"they did not work in very well in service, having to be extensivly modified from the original plans." two typos and spacing need correction

Reference for former use on the J[edit]

"The cars on the J train are R-40's, built in 1968 and 1969", Matthew L. Wald, New York Times, Crash on the Subway: The System, [[June 6][], 1995, page B5 --NE2 10:50, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Picture?[edit]

The current picture shows a picture of an R40 running on the N. These cars haven't run on the N since last year. They only run on the B now. Should we get a more up-to-date picture? Krisricky627 (talk) 17:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

they are set to retire by the end of this year, so it does not really matter. 199.219.138.254 (talk) 19:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't let the intro get overgrown[edit]

Folks: the table of contents goes at the beginning of the article, not the end. This is not a case of me being offended that someone undid my revision...it simply doesn't make sense to have a full description followed by a table of contents at the very end. There's supposed to be a brief introduction, followed by the contents, and then a full description. Stop undoing that.Gotham77 (talk) 02:21, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
