    many 8ave IND local stations are bi-level and look like this ----platform----[northbound local][northbound express] ----platform----[southbound local][southbound express] (i might switch the direction but you get the idea)

    i hope they change their minds. Light rail option kills the possibilities of extending service elsewhere via LIRR/MNR

    well...no one thinks of PSD?

    any news on airtrain stations getting OMNY? I visited NY last month. For many people who don't visit the city in months like me, we definitely don't have metrocards in our wallets. OMNY would be very handy but airtrain stations among the last to get OMNY lol 🙈

    The R46 won't last very long. Even R68 won't work coz they aren't going to last too (unless they decided to overhaul them when they turned 25 yr-old, but missed it) sending R143/R160 to SIR might work tho

    a side note: trains with external doors are in theory safer to operate with PSD (less space to have stuffs trapped between the train and platform doors)

    doors on the s-stocks are sliding on the outsie of the car

    IMO the first phase could be creating a branch to brooklyn college Next step? Let see if goes bankrupt after finished the first phase 😴

    make sense because you hv more ac units (2 vs 10) to handle the smell lol

    imagine next time a show about the Bronx: "yo this is the bronx bound train. Welcome to the bronx m**th**f**ker" 😂

    any news on JFK AirTrain getting OMNY? I think there is one of the places need OMNY the most, since not everyone traveling from outside of NYC has metrocard 😴

    It would be a maintenance nightmare to have R188s with two very different propulsions (decades apart....) Not the case for R262 vs R188/R142
  13. HenryB
    Who knows. They might use a different model of inverter on the 262s.

    Bad odors from the bodies are manageable in open gangway cars, but NOT with cars full of trash.... 😂 I guess the homeless people in the clip were practicing how to make the entire train smell bad when open gangway train began service (jk) Seriously, I really don't wanna that becomes a reason (or excuse?) we can't have nice stuffs. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
  15. HenryB
    Simple. You could just wrap the interiors like what they did for R62 in times sq . But does it mean "compatible with the modern world" to you? 😒
  16. HenryB
    30+ years old trains are common around the world, and can be compatible with the modern world... ....if they received midlife refurbishment For examples, C151 in Singapore have similar age to R68; Some M Stock in Hong Kong have ages of R46. But their interiors have better shapes than some of our NTTs lol It is too late to do retrofits on R68s and R62 now. MTA missed the opportunity to do that 10 years ago.
  17. HenryB
    Some R62s are indeed crappy, but not because of that minor "issue" 🤦‍♂️ What make those R62s crappy are their HVAC units
  18. HenryB
    .....maybe 70s but definitely not ww2 lol R68/R68a aren't that old. They look old because they didn't receive retrofits when they hit 15-20 years old.
  19. HenryB
    Pretty sure they will reinforce the size walls + add new columns in the middle of the "platform" before removing any old sturctures

    👍👍 maybe it could also have noise barriers?
  22. HenryB
    doesn't seem too diffcult since the car end doors on NTTs are quite wide. But don't expect the modified gangways will be as wide as the pre-builts.
  23. HenryB
    .....not to mention oders diffuse, and each car has 2 HVAC units to handle that so it should be a problem 🤦‍♂️

    *** >30 years.....🤭
  25. HenryB
    I have a question.....does that mean could remove those freaking timers after ATS installation?
