Gibbs High-Vs were used on the first subway line since 1904 and ran until 1958. They were primarily used in local service on the subway until 1952, when an equipment exchange to save on crews put many of these cars in the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue–Van Cortlandt Park 242nd St. Express service as well. 3342 was scrapped in 1956. All other work cars were retired and scrapped by 1960 as surplus Low-V cars entered work service. All hand-operated cars were removed from passenger service in 1957, and MUDC cars in 1958.
