That is a picture of an R10 that was retrofitted with an R42 bonnet as a prototype for a possible rebuilding program for the R10s. A similar prototype was made out of an R16 for the same purpose.

where can i get the subway cars book? and how many of these cars were put in service?

I'm pretty sure the Transit Museum still carries them, I forgot the title of the book.  The book was given to me as a present when I was a kid, so the latest model in the book was the R110A/B.  I'm assuming it was updated by now.

The Transit Museum prob sells them online if they do ill order one soon.
