Union Tpke

On Friday I saw some CIY R160s on the #s 9198-9199-9200-9201-9202 i didn't have time to see the other set. I was also wondering why my at 10:13 in the morning well after 7:45 was stopping at 75 Av when it usally is skipping 75. It was not labled on the FIND nd the conductor said the anouncment for 75th manually.

Can I have an Akzidenz sign that says Kew Gardens Union Tpke Station

Can I have an R160 exterior that says Kew Gardens Union Tpke Via 6 Av EXP/63 St Queens Blvd Express

According to the NYC track map book the remaining R42s will get retired when the R32s are done getting SMSed at coney island. I'm not sure if this is accurate or not. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

Two things; On R46 trains it says via 60 St but on R160s it says via 59 st. Why is this? Also, the stops at 49 st when going to Astoria is this because of high ridership, instead they can switch to the local after 49 st or even after 57 st. I'm really happy because today I got the NYC track map book! Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

I'v seen 91xx on the Manhattan/Queens portion of the

I saw an R160A on the at 34 St today.

Finally today I saw an R160 I haven't seen one before today for some reason. Also, I didn't know that you were able to see the A5 track on the 8 Av Line from the 34 St Local Platform. Also, I'm getting the NYC track map book.

I forgot to mention that on Roosevelt Island I saw some pipe with the sign water dranage or something like it and MTA IND 53 St Tunnel. Also, there were some doors that open from the inside and said subway keep clear.

According to Second Av Sagas the service change involving running the R Express in queens and the E skipping 75 and Briarwood Van Wyck and the F skipping those stations and Sutphin Blvd due to installation of temporary subway barriers in preparation for the Queens Boulevard interlocking project, replacing and modernizing signals at Union Turnpike, 71st Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue. Does anyone know in depth details.

I will when I have a chance. I go to the 71 Av station pretty often so I probably will!

At the Kew Gardens Union Tpke station a sign saying what the MTA is doing about modernizing the signal system between 71 Av and Union Tpke it said they would reconfigure the interlocking west of 75th so what would they be doing? Also, in the 71 Av station on the pillars in between the express tracks there is a sign that looks like it was put there close to the opening of the station saying stay away from the platform edge.

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't know that.

I know this is a weird question but what does G.O stand for; I know what it is but I don't know what it stands for. By the way on friday I took videos of some of the bellmouths on the Queens blvd Line on an R46 and took a video of the track stub for a Broadway Line up CPW before 57 St, I saw some of revs writings in the tunnels on the brodway line. I saw an R160 train use equipment from Coney Island they were numbered 91XX i can't remember right now. i took a video of the stub tracks at Canal St and the tracks ggoing down for the City Hall Lower Level. I came of at City Hall and took some pictures down the stairway to the L.L and saw a lot of garbage on one of the tracks; I also took pictures of where the tracks curve away from the wall. A few minutes later I took a video of the same R46 coming back into he station from Whitehall. I later took a video of Worth St. At 57 S/6 Av I took a picture of the old next train indicator when it was a terminal, nd the BMT 63 St Line and the bellmouth after 21 St Queensbridge.

4:14 PM b/d No 2 train service b/t E 180 St and Nereid Av, due to signal problems at E 180 St. Allow additional travel time. 4:25 PM Following an earlier incident at E 180 St, 2 train service has resumed with residual delays.

Why is it taking so long for them to get back in service?

With more of the redbird work trains being scrapped more R62As may be in work service.

An article said that the 125 St station will be really deep because of the fault line.

I've never heard of a 1 from new lots.

no, 4665 http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?5789

But didn't someone on this forum get the rollsign of 4665? and where are they currrently?

Are cars 4460 4665 scrapped? I think they are. I deleted the fact that they were at AVE X yard twice on wikipedia and they put it back saying that I didn't have a good source.

I saw on subchat that the SIR doesn't have to comply with FRA regulations.

Today I saw someone using a payphone at the Union Tpke station. I haven't seen someone use one in a while.
