That train has been there for nearly a year.Why is it there b\c it would be useless on the (C) and that train is inactive I believe it has or had chains on the wheels.It's time being there it got tagged(graffiti).It's basically a dead train.

Its been there for a few months now  almost nearly a year
Its gonna be scrapped for parts or something because a bad motor and broken ac system or something
I lived in the vicinity of where they put the train That's why I know its been there for a long while bout 3+months there is a note in the front saying do not drive it and there is a flag on it

That R32 is fully operable but it has been left sitting there for a while for some reason. It will not be scrapped any time soon.

When I pass the yard on the M I see a piece of paper on the front door and the driver's window but I am too far away to read it.

It has motor problems I don't know how bad and they have said on the note to not move the train or to put it in service
