WOW interesting! Would be hella of a nostalgic moment to see this be implemented (R62 on 6). Another thing, sorry for the noob question but what *exactly* is CBTC? What exactly does it do? Hope it's not some type of AirTrain insanity. *Cry*

I feel that the 62's back on the Lexington would do no justice anymore for the tourists at least.  I'm sure the daily commuters like myself won't mind or just don't care (they just bring us to point A to B.)  All I know is whenever I get to 42nd Grand Central, tourists and R142/A's mix VERY well and it helps them out more then usual.  I've never rode the Lexington when they were all 62's and can't say the same effect with the tourists, but that's just me now.

The 1 train is used by many tourists and there's no problem over there.

You're confusing tourists with New Yorkers. If a tourist has never seen this city before, then what do they care? It's all about experience.

The subway is here to make us the residents of NYC happy, not the tourists.

As for 62A's on the 6...imagine standing at the RFW of this:
R142A 6 Express train going past Morrison-Sound View

Ahh I see. Yea I have seen that. Tried Googling around. That Wiki article is a bit unclear or I
 Am probably a big noob lol. I wanted to see if someone can dumb it down and explain how it actually works. I Just want to be sure I got it right actually.  Sorry lol. Very slow I know.
