INDman Posted January 19, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 19, 2011 The only part of this I have heard before is the R42s being taken off the Jamacia Line and getting R32s. I still don't think that will happen, but I am very sure you won't see any R44s pounding the road again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted January 19, 2011 Share #13 Posted January 19, 2011 There were several things that I overheard people saying at the R1/9 holiday special train thing. One was that Jamaica yard either no longer wants the or doesnt want the R46 anymore. So the first plan was the was going to C.I., & R68's would run on the . After that plan was cancelled, Jamaica Yard then decides they no longer want the R46. So now the plan was to send all the R32 off the , and the R32 would go to the while most of the R46 (there is not enough R32 to cover the I believe) go to the . This plan was cancelled as well. Currently, I overheard that Jamaica Yard wants all R160's, forcing some R160's out of C.I. and putting the R46 on the . I heard that was the current plan. I did hear about the R32 going to the , not the , to swap out the R42's and scrap 'em and revive a few R44's to place into temporary service until the R179's come. Now Im not saying all of this is true, just what I overheard some people saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think that will happen, but I am very sure you won't see any R44s pounding the road again. That's the only thing I see happening from my view, A member on here told me he spotted and took picture of a R44 set out in the Rockaways recently.. I don't know what's with that, and I'm skeptical about the R44s coming back out. On a side note the R42s are said to be scrapped by a contractor in PA, not reefed.

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 19, 2011 Share #16 Posted January 19, 2011 I don't think the R44's are going to make any comeback. The cars are in too poor of a shape to run. Their carbon steel bodies, and fiberglass ends are in bad shape. That's why they are gone in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queens Surface Posted January 19, 2011 Share #19 Posted January 19, 2011 I really am not buying the R32s replacing the rest of the R42s on the . Because there would be no reason to repaint pairs of R42s (as in the photo below) as i if only to pull them out of service a short time later. But then again, this is the MTA so you never know what might go down. So we will wait & see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted January 19, 2011 Share #25 Posted January 19, 2011 Does everyone on this forum have "sources?" Honest to ****ing God, my face when it all turns out to be bull****. Well, I can't actually go over and verify that because the nearest subway station is a good 10 miles away and already has R160s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
