N Train Stuck in First Stage of Grief

Gothamist/Matthew Lubchansky

This poor N train is clearly not over the MTA's doomsday cuts. We spotted this masquerade at Queensboro Plaza last night, where a clearly marked N train (note the N logo next to the strip map) was convinced that it was a recently departed W. Or is this the MTA's way of telling us to not give up hope that the cut service could someday return? Cruel joke, guys.

When they get rid off a line, do they get rid off the amount of trains or just the name?

(sorry, too lazy to find out elsewhere)

No, each car goes for a million dollars, and the MTA can't really do frivolous and wasteful things like throwing away million dollar subway cars, though it is MTA and budget crises have never stopped it from doing frivolous and wasteful things.
