Dj Hammers Posted May 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2015 Perhaps with all the goings-on pertaining to the museum cars, it would be advantageous to have a dedicated thread to tracking it all. D Types 6112 and 6095 are at 207th Street yard now for restoration. 6013 is still down at Pitkin, not sure what will be done with that set. The three RPC-owned BMT Standards have been brought up to 207th Street yard for restoration: At least the air systems in the standards seem operational. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R26, R28, and R29 are in alright shape (The R29 better than the R26 and R28), but could use some work. There's a lack of covered space to keep the cars out of the elements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted May 25, 2015 Share #7 Posted May 25, 2015 IIRC 4460-4665 are part of the museum fleet. Is that correct? It's been disected so many times and I don't remember what the eventual result of that fiasco was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R42Ctrain4069 Posted May 26, 2015 Share #8 Posted May 26, 2015 I saw a while back a pic on instagram of the redbird sets in unionport yard being repainted. Can someone confirm this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted May 26, 2015 Share #9 Posted May 26, 2015 That R44 is probably never gonna run in a fan trip. Not with one blind end like that. And since they really can't run with other cars (brake pressure difference), its more than likely a static display for life. Unless they get 2 more cars... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Lennon Posted May 26, 2015 Share #10 Posted May 26, 2015 If I am not mistaken, the R-44SI have the same propulsion as the R-46. Could snatch one R-44SI A car, and a R-46 A-A set, and voila. You now have your four car fan trip. I know, keep dreaming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been disected so many times and I don't remember what the eventual result of that fiasco was. They are part of the fleet and are operational. There was no fiasco involving those cars. I saw a while back a pic on instagram of the redbird sets in unionport yard being repainted. Can someone confirm this? Can you link me? If I am not mistaken, the R-44SI have the same propulsion as the R-46. Could snatch one R-44SI A car, and a R-46 A-A set, and voila. You now have your four car fan trip. I know, keep dreaming. Not doable for engineering reasons. There's other aspects besides propulsion that'd need to be dealt with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Friday 1986 Posted May 27, 2015 Share #12 Posted May 27, 2015 I saw a while back a pic on instagram of the redbird sets in unionport yard being repainted. Can someone confirm this? The Redbirds at Unionport Yard were repainted to simply cover the graffiti. It wasn't a full repaint, it was only to cover all the tagged up areas on the affected cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewYorkElevated Posted August 26, 2015 Share #13 Posted August 26, 2015 Events that occurred over the past few months (6/27-6/28) TOMM, BMT Triplex, Arnines, and BMT Standards were operating for the BMT's 100th Anniversary. The Standars got the most attention because they underwent a ton a maintenance. (8/8) Lo-V's ran on the line. Lots of noteable railfans attended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewYorkElevated Posted October 31, 2015 Share #16 Posted October 31, 2015 TOMC is running this saturday and sunday. Check the museum website for info. Even better, the TOMC is running this weekend again. It will depart Hudson Yards for Flushing at 6:30PM making express stops. Once reaching Flushing-Main Street, it will return to Corona Yard to sleep for tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted December 19, 2015 Share #18 Posted December 19, 2015 I used to ride the holiday train, but I got tired of the foamers and the hipsters real fast. Agree 100%. The only reason I went last week was because of the service change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewYorkElevated Posted December 28, 2015 Share #25 Posted December 28, 2015 Pretty crowded run today Yup. Yesterday was the final day for the Holiday Train (which is why it was so crowded). The public loved it! I was on the train the whole Queens-bound portion (2nd Avenue to Queens Plaza). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
