More subway cars heading for artificial reefs

NYC transit officials are again considering a unique disposal method of old subway cars: Donating the large stripped down metal cabs as material for artificial reefs to states along the East Coast.

Previously 1,261 Redbird NYC subway cars were stripped down and sunk off of New Jersey's coast. The blood-red painted subway cars almost immediately become inhabited by plankton and other fish food, which is then followed by fish looking for food.
