Speaking of the 7 train, does anyone have an update of what's happening with 5 Pointz(The big graffiti covered building after Hunters Point)? I had heard a rumor that it was going to be shut down.

Fred, I haven't been on the 7 in months. I thought the 7 ran the R62s exclusively. Are they now running the R142s on the 7?

I heard that too. It was also mentioned in another thread months ago and one poster provided links that supported it's demise. Last time I was on the 7 train was back in June and it was still there.
