If I recall correctly when I first started to get truly aware of the standards when they were taken off the Bway BMT and transfered to the Canarsie line. I remember seeing an occasional train made up of 6 single cars 2700 series. The 2500's were solid numerical 3 car units. The 2400's were mated 2400-2600-2400 . This was probably done when the motorless and useless 4000's were taken off. Finally I remember one mixed set of 3 cars: 2899 in the group.Again, the maximum length on the Canarsie, Myrtle-Chambers,& Jamaica/ Bway-Bklyn combo was 6 cars.
