R40SlantFan

I would asume 7876-7887

Yea that set has been there for a long time now

They should keep 100 R32s in reserve for increased service.

How often does the R32 train go back to 207 instead of going to layup? I wanna catch it going north

The upcoming line G/O this weekend, are there gonna be R62s running on the 2 since the 3 isn't running?

Last year, they didn't start really moving more R32s to ENY until August after passenger complaints starting flooding in and (reportedly) a very unhappy rider contacted the MTA inspector general.

I'd expect it to be the same this year, the MTA will be playing catch up with the amount of complaining riders do about broken air conditioning units.

Wow I'm glad I skipped out on this. I heard that a couple crazy railfans had arrest warrants issued because of saturday's events. This is ridiculous. 

I will check tommorow and see.

I'm checking tomorrow regardless. I don't see why they would suddenly cancel it.

Well considering that I talked to crew members who would definetely know if it was going on and they told me it wasn't happening, I'd advise against it because you'd probably be wasting your time. I have a relatively busy weekend so I'm not gonna go since the chances of it happening seem like almost none now.

Is the vibration testing still going on?

Apparently not. Was told by both a T/O and C/R that it was canceled.

Nice try its BS

A t/o was at Jamaica yard today and no R32's at Jamaica yard as of yet

Read my post. I already admitted that the pic was fake haha. Just a little fun and games....

It does seem that they may end up not running. As I mentioned before a T/O on my train to work and a C/R on my way back both told me they cancled it.

its fake

Haha you'd be right on that.

I'm just messing around with you guys. I just took an old image and modified it, it's a fake.

I actually asked a T/O and a C/R on the R today about the R32s, both of em told me that the vibration testing for this weekend was canceled. Sucks, I know, but better to know now than to be disappointed tomorrow.

I heard about that set running in the p.m rush. But going to Whitehall St aint worth it unlike the full route.

Yeah, I'm a little bummed that I wasn't able to catch it (It was departing when I came down the stairs), but still, its an R32 on the

Rode the home every night today, caught R160s and saw a couple R46 sets the entire week...

Until today that is..

I walked into 14th St just in time to see this pulling out. Just barely got my smartphone out in time to snap a quick picture of it:

I ride the and to and from work every day, I'll let you guys know if I see anything tomorrow.

I saw the R40 Slants at 207th yard today. Hopefully they will get restored

Why do you guys so desperately want to see the R188 in service? A couple years from now all you guys will be nostalgic about when the R62As ran on the 7

Why is the swap still going on? Its fall already lol

I really hope that the R160s come with multi color LED front signs, i'm sick of just seeing a red circle. Makes it hard to tell which train is which.

I reported that 2 days ago. They were swapped with the last R160 cars #9971-9974.

whoops i didn't see your post. but yea also i saw a lot of R42s running on the J today, only saw 2 R160s

I saw 8377 on the C on saturday around 12:00pm. A couple days before that I saw it on the J. Theyre cycling them between yards
