R179 8258

6324 to Jamaica.

Finally some OG's are at Jamaica

When is the swap going to happen ???

2066-2070 are still on the saw it during PM rush hour

What ENY get LFS order lol. That would be crazy ????????

Yes.

So they really don't need R179. But there is an option for 80 cars thou

FYI, the R179 order only includes four 10-car sets (40 cars), not six, so it's even less. According to JoeKorner the used 10 trainsets in in the AM most recently before it was eliminated.

 

Right now + together use 47 trainsets (24 on the and 23 on the ) in the AM according to JoeKorner, and pre-2010 the , and together used 51 trainsets (23, 18 and 10 respectively). The will need more since it will be longer and will possibly run more frequently. The 40 new cars will basically bring usage back up to pre-2010.

 

According to JoeKorner Coney Island already has a very low spare factor of R160s right now (47 out of the 53 trainsets used in the AM, that's only an ~11% spare factor). I'm wondering too exactly how it will all fit; I'm assuming we'll see trainsets swiped from other yards, but the MTA seems confident they can make it work based on the small size of the R179 order, so we'll see.

Can they just use the R68 or R68A if they run out of spares ?

UP no longer gets the LFS order due to possible increase on the Flyer order?

So what's going to happen to all those RTS UP has ?

Yes, the 2000 D60s will be replacing the remaining 1999 D60s when the MTA XD60s arrive. It doesn't make sense to keep the old D60s any longer now.

And I think it's 75 buses, not 72.

But don't you guys think BP needs them more. Like the AM & PM rush Q111 i really don't know about Q113/114 be really pack to capacity like I had to wait for like 3 buses to pass on order to get on the Q111

There an XD60 at WF but has GH decals on it

Just seen like some new XD40s at JFK Airport it's 73** series but only like 4 new ones was there

Does anybody know when all the Brooklyn a Depots will continue to get the rest of XD40s

IMO the 240th Street R62A's should stay paired together so it's easier to transfer back.

Don't think they will be transfering them back anytime soon. When they finish with the R142A and get R62A them they should pair 240th Street together, for right now i don't see a problem with Corona/240th R62A pairing together lol

So the only has nothing but the 19xx singles 2001-2155

Welp, I was wrong. But I know it mostly happens during late night hours but the day of the week I guess doesn't matter.

So when the R142A Converts come in , they send an R62A to the Westchester ?

There's a CS Orion 5 at Jamaica Dept right now

There 2 actually

Please no LCD. I don't think it would look particularly great.

 

Multicolored LEDs is possible but may not be worth the investment. You would be stuck with Red, Green, Blue, and Orange, most likely.

Red would be great and different. Tired of seeing the Orange LEDs on the R160

Just saw 7401-7405:7406-7410 together on the Westchester isn't playing with get rid of the R142A on the . ????

Does anybody know which line will the R179 (10-Car) be tested on first ?

Will some of the singles go back to the train or will they go to the ?

7331-7335:7336-7911-7340 testing heading to Manhattan right now

Rose the R62a honestly it don't feel the same like back in the late 1990s and earlier 2000s when the R62 would speed thru 103-116 streets and the train would dance( when the run goes fast and the train car would move out of control) love that feeling lol

Well that takes care of that situation. What depot is next to receive the XD40s?

Flatbush

So the singles era is now over lol

Isn't 1961-1965 singles ?

7311-7320 is in service. riding it right now
