We Were All Yellow. Early on the morning of Wednesday, July 26, 2023, NYNJ Rail picked up 18 cars from the interchange with MTA NYCT Transit South Brooklyn Railroad for scrap. The 2 R-32s and pair of 8-car SMEE Continuously Welded Rail (CWR) Trains were all about 60 years old and have been replaced with newer equipment. MTA NYCT CCR 01 (née-MTA NYCT 7303, R-22, St. Louis Car Company, 1958) is the trailing car of the 16 R-123 CWR cars. The R-123 class was in an in house contract that rebuilt 32 cars (a mix of R-17 and R-22 type) for welded rail delivery, and all are now retired.
