R32sdabest

No kidding, the can be a fast local at night but a slow express, especially uptown between Chambers and 59th.

It's sad that the beats the a lot of times.

New timer on the coming into 149-Grand Concourse NB, after the diverging switch for the line...

 

SMH most of the new timers on the line are only in one direction: between 86 and 103 NB (3 or 4 years ago), 149 NB (recent), Kingsbridge NB (last year), Bedford Park NB (not sure when that one popped up)...

 

At least they're not as slow as the Broadway Junction timers for the express...

The has a lot of timers

The rest of the r188 (6 car set) is in corona yard.

Now the full 11-car set is there

The MITRAC propulsion is the R142A propulsion, right?

now with the 8-car R160 SMS the and needs extra cars, so had the R32's been retired what cars were they planning on to fill the gap?

Uhhh.....R143s?

Probably not because then SC is gonna be short so it's better to use the O5 CNGs wen they need em

I meant the first one

Did u catch the number of the bus and/or run number!? 9871 was on the Q19 today, and from what I was told, the CNGs might start running on CP routes as for extra service due to the Q29 and Q72 swap, since that swap, CP was doing split shifts on both routes, the reason why the routes aren't full of the C40s is because they are short so CP might recertify the rest of the O5 CNGs if not, then SC is gonna send CP buses

Hopefully the second option

 

I just hope you're not as passionate about express buses as youknowwho is passionate about youknowwhat.....LOL

Who? Me with my R32s. I love em but I don't brag about it because I know it won't look good on certain people. If you're not talking about then I know who you're talking about

Lol it's funny how JFK started off sending 3564 and kept 3563.. imagine 3563 went to LGA

That bus is a rocket

The reason I said next week is that now its sitting in LGA with the word B A D written on the window and either E/C or O/S next to it and I found out from a driver that it's gonna be towed next week

RIP 101

That I have no idea about. I would guess they're out for receiving schedules repaints/overhauls etc..... Maybe ciboii22 might be able to shed some light on that.

Isn't it because they're getting repowered?

I would love to see R32 back on Queens Blvd & 6th Av again. It will be mu childhood all over again.

Yes. My favorite train of all time was the R32 train

It's been a while since I've seen R32s on QBL.

I miss em so much

Service Change Posted: 07/17/2013 10:13AM

Due to non working elevators, trains are bypassing 181 St in both directions.

Allow additional travel time.

I still don't get why that and 168th St and 191st St doesn't have stairs? What if there was a fire?

The line still only has 4 R160s?

It has more

I was watching this on-board video on the CTZ to Atlantic Term and I noticed at the end it still has a sign up saying "Flatbush Avenue"

 

Hey that's my video.

Due to a sick customer at Shepherd Av, northbound trains are running express from Euclid Av to Broadway Junction.

Allow additional travel time.

So I saw three Orion V CNG's today, but I rode two of them. This is what I found:

 

9871 on the Q69

9905 originally on the Q67, but switched to a Q39

9918 on the Q19 which is the route I would LEAST expect to find an Orion V CNG running at this time.

 

Also, RTS 9005 looks very good after it got repainted. It kept the black back which wasn't touched during the repaint. This day was very good for me.

You finally went after my babies again.

3352/3 are not back in service, they belong to the museum

On the TOMC, someone said that 3352-53 were in service again.

Lol, they're starting to take the Fareboxes out now, I guess they might go into service who knows..

Fareboxes out? I don't think it'll go into service....

101, the oldest bus in the system, was doing rounds on the Q101 yesterday.

I know. Foamers on the TOMC were going crazy.

I hate the 3Gs. Sh*tty and completely boring!!!

I heard that the swap will likely need to end next year when the R160s sms is done , so dont be surprised if after september the car assingments stay how they are now for the and

Yay. I can get some winter shots and night shots

Anybody rode the via 6 Av this weekend?

Yes and I got yelled at by a cop

 

The Train of Many Colors on the were the sh*t today!

Ok now you're just going overboard with this...

Word. This is WAAAY too long.

Yay

YAY!!!!!
