the R142A's were considered for the but since there were clearance issues with the steinway tubes and also correct me if im wrong but someone here mentioned before that Corona wasn't equipped at the time to maintain NTTs so they ended up going to Westchester Yard instead Wich is why at the time the R62A's had to leave the till it was time for them to return back.
Iv pointed out that R62A's 1651-2000 should be on the and 2001-2475 on the (excluding the 10 cars for the shuttle). I have been noticing lately alot that Westchester Yard have been removing some of the Led lights off on their R62A's , It seams like eventually that they will all come off if this is the case...
Oh well it doesn't matter what we think it was logical for the R62As to return to the . I was saying for future reference if a swap happened there would be no NTT on the since westchester have enough R62As for service. If you think about it the used less trains then the
You do notice that Weschtester Yard have enough R62A's for the by itself right ? ,So if a swap ever happened between the and there would be no NTT's on the .
Also same as the redbirds , that's why they retired in 2003 , the acid baths used to remove the graffiti in the 1970s and early 80s and the very heavy service on the , , , and even took a toll on them.
Um no , the reason that the R62A's returned to the is because the R142A's got taken out of the to go to Flushing so they had to go somewhere. Those sets originally from Westchester are staying on the as well , Iv been noticing the R62A's on the with the messed up Leds instead of fixing them up Westchester have been removing them completely.
It Goes to Show How Good Budd Really built the R32s back in 1963 , these new company's are no where near as good as like Budd , St Louis were It's sad Bombardier have always been known to deliver their products late dating back to the R62As.
When it comes to G.O's on the Don't expect any R62A's to be out , once in a blue you will have that rare occasion where one set will come out for a few trips.
Iv said this before and ill say it again , what they need to do is have the keep R62A's 1651-2000 and the keeps 2001-2475 , excluding the single sets that the shuttle has.
Since I ride the to go to work , There's times Iv seen 7 or 8 sets of R62A's back to back before finally seeing an R142A , iv noticed lately for some reason the dispacher for the lays up most of the R142A's after the am and pm rush , As for the it seems like Corona does that on purpose so that after rush hour they can lay them up and send em back to yard,
