With the car assignments going all over the place with the Rockaway (S), (N) (Q) (W) and retirements, it seems like the MTA is starting preparations of CBTC on the 🔵8 Av Line🔵 with the base order of R211s almost done and starting the option orders soon. As of February 6, 2025, when this was uploaded, this set was one of the 84 remaining R46 cars that was still assigned to the (A) and (C) Lines. However, as of April 17, 2025, the R46 took its final run on the (A) towards Howard Beach. Since then, the R46s are no longer assigned to the (A) and (C) Lines. Because of this, I decided to get one last Pitkin ride in the following month on the (C) Line, for the last Pitkin R46 ride. For a final hurrah on the (A), it delivered well and I hope you guys enjoy this moment as I took this chance to appreciate the R46 cars while I could.
