Connecting Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal and Times Square is the 42nd Street Shuttle (often called the Grand Central/Times Square Shuttle). On this day, the train consisted of six Bombardier R62A cars (1936, 1933, 1935, 1932, 1939 and, here on the rear, 1955), each modified so there are few seats inside because the trip is not very long. In fact, with just two stations, it is the shortest regular service in the New York City subway system by number of stops, running about 2,402 feet (732 m) in 90 seconds. The shuttle is used by over 100,000 passengers every day, and by up to 10,200 passengers per hour during rush hours. (New York, New York – January 23, 2024)
