current status Throughout 1999, the remaining R110Bs had been in and out of service for both repairs and additional component testing. The train was permanently removed from service in 2000 due to frequent breakdowns and low Mean Distance Between Failure (MDBF) numbers, and never ran in service again. After retirement, many of the cars were reused throughout New York City, including: 3001 – sent off to College Point, Queens in early 2014 for use as a training car for the NYPD. Part of the car was cut away to allow the car to fit in the building. 3004 and 3006 – used as training cars at the Coney Island Yard's firefighting facility, since August 2004. These cars replaced R30s 8392 and 8401. 3005 – used as a training car at P.S. 248, the New York City Transit Learning Center, since July 15, 2004. This car replaced R16 6452. 3008 – spotted in late August 2015 near FDNY's Randall's Island training facility. This car may replace older cars there. Cars 3002, 3003, 3007, and 3009 are currently stored at the 207th Street Yard. Plans are unknown for these cars. References Further reading Sansone, Gene.
