Ever wonder what happened to those old carriages that use to run on subway line 2 before the new carriages were introduced in the lead up to the Olympics? Well turns out they've been put to good use. The Beijing Subway Company has sent them to Sichuan to be used by schools in the quake-affected city of Guangyuan. A total of 60 old DK16 trains were transported from Beijing to Guangyuan during the past few months and are now being remodeled into student dormitories packed full with bunk beds.
