    They’d usually key in the doors to close after discharging the passengers and then leave the station. I don’t know abt the latter case though

    3292 and 3291 already in yard from Saturday https://i.imgur.com/ApLWMqe.jpg (and yes, I do row)
  3. mine248
    The former is something that happens to all R179s. They fade away as they are wiped. The rows is also on all sets.
  4. mine248
    Canarsie R143 sets are getting them too.

    1249 unwrapped. It was running on the M101 today
  6. mine248
    Was this to close a gap in service on the R?
  7. mine248
    And maybe the first time the goes via Montague St Tunnel (via RR503)

    8590 is on the St. Nicholas 1 subway shuttle
  9. mine248
    after Mets games or some kind of big event at Citi Field
  10. mine248
    Yes. It rarely occurs though. (The last one might’ve been 2-3 years ago)
  11. mine248
    Maybe he’s referring to the R62As

    I remember the good old days of taking the RTS out of Manhattanville and 126th St depot (this was back in 2009)
  13. mine248
    wait...so something like this? https://www.naturalreaders.com/online/ (same automated voice system as the Clever Devices on some buses)

    People actually argued that closing 145 would become a pain in the ass to handle walking to the next station (up to 7 blocks of walking!)
  15. mine248
    It's more of a policy type thing than a car type thing. Theoretically R142s can stop at 145th, but there's a weird rule saying that for stations that doesn't cover the full length of the train, only the train lines that usually stops there can stop there, but other trains (like a R62A and a R142 can't stop there and like how a R142 and R62 can't stop at South Ferry loop).

    Here's one off reddit on a R142. This one doesn't really follows the MTA design guidelines, but it gets the point across.

    Maybe there was a 5 car set of R110As and a 3 car set of R110Bs.
  18. mine248
    the m101s have 9 LFSes and 1 NG (and some LFSAs)
  19. mine248
    I saw that same train OOS at Chambers St.

    1. I understand that, though I know there is a citizen’s arrest, where a person can legally arrest someone for wrongdoing. 2. Because they can. They don’t care a bit about them.
  21. mine248
    They’re both lift bridges, and in the case that there’s a bridge lift occurring, then the train can stop without sacrificing safety

    I have a huge issue with farejumping now. I am surprised at how kids at Stuy HS (a specialized high school for the gifted kids) are literally farejumping at Chambers St on the IRT! Like wtf these kids have student MetroCards and it’s free for them! And they still don’t pay their f**king fare! I don’t want to rant like this but I would like the MTA to get at least one f**king police or student to watch and be able to arrest farejumpers. This is 100% bulls**t!
  23. mine248
    Wow. I’m surprised at this (like if this is the case, then why don’t they just lock them by default?)
  24. mine248
    And yeah, if y’all play around with the doors too much, the MTA will lock it (as I heard). So if that train god forbid gets on fire, you can blame those fools for messing with the storm doors

    And I’ve calculated the times of the R179 A train for Saturday. 6:23 AM: R179 A train departs Lefferts, arriving at 207 at 7:42 AM 7:59 AM: Train départs 207, arriving at Far Rockaway at 9:38 AM 9:58 AM: train départs Far Rockaway, arriving at 207 at 11:40 AM 12 PM: train departs 207 for Lefferts
