	I believe that it is still running.  It is(?)/was used by the MTA 
to ship newly acquired subway cars from the Brooklyn docks ( they get 
'ferried' over from 'Jersey -- Hoboken, I believe ) to the Coney 
Island yards, where they are cheked out before being inflicted on the
riding public.

	This, of course works only for the 'IND' and 'BMT' cars. 
Does anybody know how the 'IRT' cars get shipped to NYC and where
they are eventually introduced into the system ?

	P.S. For anybody who is keeping score, this is one more
	Stuyvesant alumnus checking in ... my age must be starting
	to show also ... I can vividly recall the 15c fare.
