JFK Depot

Nah those are transfers

When did they show up ?

This morning ?

The B and C were switched for yard reasons.

And the B is split between Concourse and Coney Island

The Southern Terminals are fine especially for the C

If anything a few sets of C's would lay up in the Bronx

And B's would just lay up in 207th

The same space the C takes up now in 207th

The B could easily take that up

How can you have a bi-directional express with only 3 tracks?

Bi-Directional meaning AM/PM peak Express

AM it's going to the city Express

PM it's going to Bronx Express

I would switch the Northern Terminals of the B and C

The C would go to the Bronx (Bedford Park Blvd)

The B would go to Washington Heights 168th St

The reason for flipping these terminals are to provide more

options north of 145th St

The C going to the Bronx would make the C have some type of relevance

besides just shadowing the A and there are Bronx riders who would enjoy a 1 seat ride

to 8th Ave

The D would now be fulltime Bi-Directional Express in the Bronx

The B going to 168th give riders north of 145th St in Manhattan a 1 seat ride to 6th Ave

There are riders from Inwood and Washington Heights that would enjoy a 1 seat ride

8119 is still at ENY.

Once Jamaica can find a place for the NGs they have left over

And ENY gets more RTS in... then the rest of the LFS will come to Queens

I would seriously send the Q7 to the Post Office in JFK... it doesn't have to run down Rockaway

It can go around the back... 150th to 148th

148th to North Boundary Rd... North Boundary to The Post Office

It can still go thru the Cargo Area...

Q7 Post Office via Cargo Area

What about the order of 92 LFSAs? Does anyone have an idea of what depots they will be assigned to... I know for now 5439 is at KB but what about the rest?

It's looks like the 4700s will leave the Bronx... For Brooklyn

Most likely Flatbush and East NY and possibly Casey Stengel

so no xd60s fror the b46+sbs?

5300s for 4700s still pending

I think they should put them on the ....The in my opinion is in desprite need of 10 car trains....

Check the Mean Distance Between Failure stats... the R46 is doing better than what people think

It's the R32s and 42s that really have to go

The 32s for mechanical reasons... the MDBF is so bad that it's actually costs more to keep them around but compared to the issues the 42s are dealing with (leaking roofs and compromised undercarriages) they really have to go asap

As soon as 12 or so 8 car trains of 179s come in... then we'll really see the end of the R42s

The 32s would still remain around until the R211 order

What are the 5 car assignments ?

Is it the Q or A ?

Finally ENY is coming up off those LFS...

Question tho

Since Jamaica is losing 30 RTS... why on earth do we still have the 9 Odd Ball NGs ?

D tonight. Credits to MTA T Train:

Interesting to see they are doing clearance testing everywhere and at anytime

So we are liable to see it at any given time at any given B division station basically

Does this mean the R42s will be displaced onto other lines from the (J)/(Z)?

No this means the end of the line for the R42s.... they are done

Does this mean the R42s will be displaced onto other lines from the (J)/(Z)?

No this means the end of the line for the R42s.... they are done

Great video! How do you all know where it is?

That's the upper Level.. which is a shocker for me being that the 179s would more so show up on the J before the E...

interesting to see they are testing it system wide right now

677 just seen on Van Wyck Headed south to JFK facility

Hey isn't JFK and I'm talking about the actual depot worst when it comes to relabeling buses. I remember a few D60's rolling around with New York City Bus, and a Manhattan bus map a while before they ever changed it. Even the RTS's it takes them forever to relabel them. I saw one on the Q8 recently with New York City Bus on it and I think that had that one for a while too.

Lol your right about that one... there's still a few D60s in West Farms with JFK Depot labels

4983 JAM to WF. 5153 WF to JAM.

West Farms relabels Jamaicas buses smh....

When they come back to Queens

They have Bronx Bus Maps

WF depot logo smh.... it was on borrowed time lol why relabel Queens equipment smh

Leave the JA logo... leave the Queens Bus Map

I already know that, but I though Jamaica didn't want any Hybrids anymore so I thought Jamaica and QV would swap buses and Jamaica wouldn't have to deal with anymore Orion VII's. It will probably be a while before ENY gives up those buses to Jamaica.

What I find interesting is that Jamaica had a nice chunk of LFS's order but even with their order done they still have like a ton of RTS left as well.

I thought this would mark the end of RTS's Queens except for MTA Bus.

Jamaica had a ton of 96 Novas...

QV had 97s

5421 is on the Q10. There were one or two others in the past few days.

Loaner...

It goes back to Baisley Park

Any BP artic that might pop up on the Q10 will end up going back to BP at the end of the day

I thought QV would get Jamaica's remaining NG's in return bumping some LFS's to Jamaica.

The LFS's Jamaica are waiting for aren't from QV tho

ENY has them

Being that the B15 and the B82 are going be artic routes

That could possibly displace LFS to Queens

I'm confused... Why is Jamaica getting NGs back

Yeah....good luck getting those people to give up their parking spaces. If the people along Merrick Blvd protested, then it's going to be about the same on Guy Brewer Blvd. Especially by the projects.

 

JFK Depot! Your thoughts!

It's gonna happen

This has been the plan for the longest....

The first step was XD60...

now hypothetically speaking within the next 2 years

the Q113 will be SBS

They'll redo the stops again

I'll be curious to see what stops they kill off

I remember when it first came out, it was a QV bus. Those 4900's have been in every borough except SI of course

QV swapped the 4900s for JA's 9500s at the time...

QV ended up with 9300s and 9500s

While JA had the 4900s and 5100s

Parked there yes but in the system it is still assigned to GA.

 

 

That one slipped, my bad. 4942 is at WF as well.

If it's not in West Farms it's in Brooklyn either Flatbush or ENY

Originally it was a Jamaica bus....

A handful of recent D60 moves and the WF 503x RTS don't have WF stickers, yet they are still assigned there.

Also if not mentioned, 6851 CS to QV, 4691 JA to CS.

4914, 4973, and 4976 WF to JAM. 5134 JAM to WF.

5134/5136 is in Jamaica

4968 returned to Jamaica.

If the RTS's weren't logo'd for the depot loaned to then we can't say it's a move

Most of Jamaica's loans to WF are exactly that... they aren't staying and every couple of weeks

they get swapped out for another RTS
