When the A/C equipped R-42s showed up, politicians suddently came out of the woodwork clamoring for the new units to be used on the lines their constituents rode. So instead of all the cars being assigned to one shop, they were scattered around the B division, so much so, that you could often see R-42s and R-32s, or R-42s and R-38s, or R-42s and R-30s in mixed consists on many of the former BMT lines. I used to see this all the time on the Brighton Line in 1970 - 1972. My apartment overlooked the Brighton Beach station, and I never failed to watch the rush hour end, so I got to see lots of these mixed consists. Even used to fall asleep on the window sill (with the window closed, of course :)
