Vintage train to run on V line on Sundays

100, 381, 401, 484, 1300, 1575, 1802.

The MTA owns 100, 401, 484 and 1575. The others belong to the RPC.

I really wish they'd leave 1575 in the museum. It's an R10 in all but
name and makes the consist look ridiculous.

It's original number has been restored (401).

Operational, but up at Seashore.

Yes, that was the last one to be fixed up before the hammer came down.
103 and a couple of converted R6 revenue cars are still on the property
at CI.

The Low-V's are still operable. They're just not reliable enough to put
out on the road (although using them on the TS shuttle would incur
minimal risk).

I encountered someone not long ago who refused to watch Casablanca
because it's B&W.
