The old "redbird" cars are made up of several different car classes: the R26, R28, R29, R33ML, R33WF, R36WF, and R36ML. The R36MLs were a very small fleet of cars, of which only a single pair, 9542-9543, remains.
This pair narrowly escaped being stripped for disposal in 2003 and was stored awaiting restoration. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the retirement of the redbirds, this pair was restored to operating status and successfully completed a test run. Here we see this pair, alongside R36WF and R33S cars also preserved in the vintage fleet, running on the November 4 special ticketed "Nostalgia Run", operated by the NY Transit Museum. Enjoy!
