<p>MTA New York City Transit retired the last remaining R-42 subway cars from service today, ending a 51-year run. The cars have been used on two dozen lines, each traveling more than seven million miles. The final run followed a send off ceremony at the Transit Museum, and was scheduled to proceed through a final trip on the A line from Euclid Av to Far Rockaway to 207 St, before returning to Euclid Av to close its doors for the last time. Train Operator Steve Davis brings the train to Pitkin Yard after its final run.
