Wouldn't they have to make them into 10 car sets at 207th or Pitkin? 10 car sets can't run in the eastern division in any way as far as I'm aware, in revenue service or not.
-
was mostly R46 today, also found a few R32s on the . No clue about the R42s though.
-
Caught some R32s on the A and 46s on the C. Stay tuned for pics/videos!

Will try and find a R32/42
or a R46 
tomorrow. I'm catching that shit FIRST! -
OK, so who else is gonna be on the lookout for this tomorrow? (call me a foamer, whatever)
-
Now if only we knew what propulsion the new cars will have...
-
Here we go! If we get a 42 someone better prepare the ambulance because I am gonna FAINT!

We're not getting rid of Sprint. The unlimited data is a BIG thing for us. If it was just me on a single-line plan, I'd probably get MetroPCS, but Sprint's not that bad. The replacements are the only problem I've really had with them. -
Rode a NJT NABI Suburban today on the 126... GOD DAMN they SUCK! CAT engine, ZF tranny, and they're U G L Y.

Oh give me a f**king break! The one time Kawasaki isn't gonna be involved in a NYCT car order, and this happens! I swear if I have to hear that damn Alstom propulsion on these things I'm gonna flip! I really hope Bombardier gets to keep this one. They still got the BART contract even after Alstom protested Bombardier getting the award.

And this is why we have Sprint. If my family can have UNLIMITED data on a 3 line family plan for less $$ than VZ, why would we have them? Because (literally) everyone else does? I won't go near VZ wireless (or AT&T for that matter) until they have unlimited data and they lower their rates. Sprint really isn't bad like people say it is, coverage is fine, the 4G is pretty fast even though it isn't LTE (they are rolling out LTE too), I have no complaints. The only thing I'll use VZ for is FiOS. -
and FiOS is installed!

Kinda off topic, but where are the depot stickers on NJT buses?

Had quite the experience with Sprint over the past few weeks. My Evo Shift's screen was going nuts, and it wasn't recognizing touch properly. So I took it in to the Sprint store, got a free replacement, and within a few days the screen just stopped lighting up on that. So, I took it in AGAIN, got another replacement today, and now the U button on the keyboard won't work unless you push hard on it. I pointed it out to the guys in the Sprint store as it was like that when I picked it up, but they refused to replace this one, they don't think you have to press hard on it, so I really don't know what to do. -
Weren't there 2 sets on the a few weeks back? Haven't heard anything about them since.

Veolia is a MULTI-NATIONAL corporation. The is a government agency who has a MONOPOLY on public buses in NYC. Who's gonna have the better maintenance? Veolia will provide good maintenance if Nassau County told them to start maintaining the buses better, since it's all about the money. They will do whatever they can to satisfy the County and convince them to continue using their services because they make MONEY operating NICE, but it's the County's job to COMPLAIN to Veolia when necessary so they will provide better service. They probably know Mangano will not threaten to cut them off no matter what they do, so they couldn't care less here about providing this kind of maintenance as it saves them money. This is the same with NJT buses in Monmouth County that they operate. They definitely aren't the nicest buses in the NJT system (though they weren't that bad last time I rode one), but NJT isn't complaining about it so they will continue to provide the same levels of maintenance they currently do because they know NJT will keep writing them checks.

Finally getting FiOS. So long "Optimum" and your slow ass internet.
-
The R160s didn't have them, they were retrofitted with it. They can do the same with these.

RIP Orion...

It's a good question, since the all the cars older than 143s/160s that will be in service at that time are 75 footers. I'd say they'd put 46s, maybe 68s on, but they'd have to make the train just or almost as long as they are now (meaning the length of 8 60 foot cars). That would be 4-6 75 footers I guess, I'm too lazy to do the math right now.
-
The and (C ) never get the new cars, so they'll find something else to put on that. If there are gonna be 4 car sets, they're going to ENY, which means . Just because the lines that use R32s and R42s are gonna lose those cars, it doesn't mean they're gonna get the new cars coming in to replace them.

This has my seal of approval. Go Bombardier! I'm so happy ALSKAW didn't win this one. That Alstom propulsion gets so annoying when I have to sit on a train for a while (like if I'm on a from lower Manhattan to Roosevelt or 71st which I am often). I'm thinking we might get the same propulsion as the CTA 5000 series on the 179s, which is also rather high-pitched, but it doesn't sound nearly as annoying as Alstom. Plus, it's great to see an order that's not going to have any Kawasaki involvement, 'bout time that happened. Not like they don't build a good railcar, but we need some variety in the NTT fleet already.

tomorrow. I'm catching that shit FIRST!
