In this view taken on November 1, 2000, after the conclusion of the 2000 Subway Series, the two trains used during the Subway Series were brought together for a photo shoot against the backdrop of the old Yankee Stadium. The R142 used on the 4 line was decorated with pinstrips on the north and south end cars and the Worlds Fair R-36/R-33S Redbirds used on the Flushing line were decorated with the Mets orange and blue on the end cars. Both trains sported the Mets and Yankees logos and had banners which read "Subway Series 2000". After the photo shoot was finished the "Yankee" train was returned to the 2 line where it runs today. The decorations have long since been removed. The "Mets" train returned to the Flushing line where the consist was broken up and the cars could be seen mixed in with other Redbirds. They eventually ended up at 207th Yard, where they were prepared for reefing.The only survivor was R33 single 9327 which is now at The Seashore Trolley Museum in Maine. The last cars reefed were 9712-13 (GE controlled cars denoted by the yellow sickers ) in 2003.
